    Unfortunately the focus of this picture was in the upper left corner, so the main area of your solder joints is pretty unsharp. I would like to ask for a better picture, so we can give you a statement.

    These are much better. There is nothing obvious bad, the solder joints look good by the first look. And the amount of solder used so far looks fair too. And as long as they are shiny it is a good sign that they are not cold joints...

    You could clean your PCB wit isopropanol and than look again. I always find a couple of solder joints which look not perfect when looking at my PCBs from different views/angles. I've seen a lot of worse factory made PCBs, yours look mostly good. :)

    I found these:

    Right Amount of Solder

    _____a) Minimum amount of solder

    _____b) Optimal

    _____c) Excessive solder

    Solderability

    _____a) Bad solderability of terminal wire

    _____b) Bad soldering of PCB

    _____c) Bad soldering of terminal wire and PCB

    Seems to be a reasonable guide (just did some cross reading)
