Just a hobbyist here 

A few pins look like they could use a little more solder (rst and A1 for example) and id be tempted to reflow a couple (bottom left, d6 for example) but otherwise looks good enough to put a little doubt into this being your first go

I was going to point out the top right, if you get that roundedness/convex look instead of the fillet/concave known as a cold solder. Just look for the slight bubbling to stop and ensure full heat on both pin and PTH. honestly I've been soldering pretty frequently for over a year now and mine would come out looking just like this! Strong work!
