Lots of room for improvement, but don’t think it was terrible for a first attempt.
I had a hell of a time getting the sizing right on the cuts. I got the hang of it more towards the end, but the 4 nigiri in the picture were the only slices big enough to go over rice, and just barely. The rest turned into the small and misshapen sashimi at the back. I had a tougher time with the angles than I thought I would, and I think I handicapped myself by initially cutting the filet too narrow.
The maki was overstuffed, but I think that will be easier to correct next time. It was definitely tougher to spread the rice over the nori than I anticipated.

Nice job! You’re definitely doing it right. You just keep practicing, and it’ll look perfect very quickly. Still looks delicious as-is. 10/10, would eat.
Looks awesome! Nice job:)
I can show you my first and second and tenth attempts. You did really well comparatively! Even my shitty attempts, it tasted great. The rice is the most important part. The cuts just look good.
I don’t think it’s overstuffed? Not with rice, I would use maybe just a hair less salmon.
Looks really good! Practice your knife skills and it’ll look even more beautiful. 🤩
