As already said grout lines, corners, dust sheets on work top, the socket is only half on the tiles in one pic, adhesive needs to be neater, i also noticed you started straight off the worktop with the tiles, you can run into trouble doing this as quite often worktops aren't level but i noticed there was a level in some pics so i asume you checked this before you started, looks like you started from the side wall i always start from the middle of the hood to make sure the corners are right. Doesn't look like you primed the walls first so i would read up on priming too

Not a bad first go at all, always room to learn no matter how good you are.
I've seen some shocking jobs from so called pros and this one isn't no where near them ! lol

Good effort and take on board what the guys have said about you bond pattern (if you have two 3rds of a tile on the right then 'wrap' the other 3rd round the corner so you only use 1 tile rather than having a full tile then next to it is a two 3rds of a tile etc...)

Spend some time setting the next one out too. It looks like you've found the centre of the cooker and drawn a line down there, but then started to tile randomly and neither of the vertical brick bond joints are on that centre line.

Take it all on board though and keep up the practise.
