Sta.sh
The balance of the characters looks nice. Many of the strokes are well positioned for a beginner, although some are too long and the ends of some strokes look strange.
One thing though, is that the horizontal strokes are too, well, horizontal. I think many beginners do this, especially those for whom Japanese is a second language. I can understand why, considering how many Japanese teachers teach kanji and how kanji are printed in dictionaries. Unfortunately, it gives the impression of a character on a computer screen. This is somewhat exasperated here by the thin strokes. Horizontal strokes in calligraphy actually curve slightly upwards on the right side.
Overall, I think this is quite good for a first experience at calligraphy. If you are interested in learning more, I would highly recommend it.
