This forum has been so helpful, I figured i would be a fool to not ask for feedback on my first recipe creation. Hoping you could give me some feedback... does anything look terribly out of place?

Striving for a "juicy" drinkable IPA, a la Fresh Squeezed, but in no way a clone, more like an inspiration. Feedback from y'all would be awesome. Thank you!!

If you're looking for a more "juicy" ipa look more to the late additions or hopstands. Might get alittle too much rind/minty hop bite with the 1oz Amarillo/citra at 20mins?

But this would also depend on the water profile as well.
 
Yeah, I'd move those hop additions down to the 10 or 5 minute mark. And maybe split them to do some at 10 minutes, then the rest at flame out.
 
Agreed I think you could use more hops, I use double your total amount of late hops for my Fresh squeezed inspired beer. It comes out pretty juicy and quite similar to the original in hop character, this is what I do per 5 gals:

1 oz ea Citra/Mosaic at 10 min
1.5 oz each 20 min hopstand after cooling to 160
1.5 oz each dryhop
