Looks pretty good to me, tug on it to make sure it doesn't break loose, and you should be fine.

Looks fine. One thing to look for when soldering is that the deposited solder is shiny. A dull gray looking joint is a sign of a cold solder joint that can fail or cause intermittent problems.

A little bit more solder than optimal, but not too much yet. But anyway, shiny = good.
Ah, I remember those days when I didn't need a magnifying glass and tweezers to solder

Looks good. It looks like you already heard the little less solder bit.
After you clip the component leads, if you want to clean up the board a bit, remove all of that flux, you could use a bit of isopropyl alcohol and a clean paint brush. I keep isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle, spray it on the board, and then keep wiping it back and forth with the brush till it evaporates. Takes the flux staining right off. |
