I like alot of it, I think you have captured a lovely harmonic mood, but I think it might work a little better with a contrasting major key section. Right now it feels a little static, if that makes sense?

Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked the mood created.

That's an interesting suggestion. I was beginning to feel the lack of development might be a negative but on the other hand I didn't want to overdo things - I wanted to keep to the vibe. Did you have a major key in mind?  I'm thinking after Measure/Bar 49 go to C# major on a 7th chord and maybe modulate through F# major/B major/E major/C#maj/F# maj/ B maj - than find A minor 7 with a B that will eventually bring us back to what is currently Measure/Bar 54.

So, a fairly short excursion into major territory is the way I'm thinking.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've inserted a new/revised section from Measure 51. (See new posting).

I think you were right that it is a lot more dynamic with the contrasting major key section.
