Hi,
Not bad for first attempt.
Did you use self-timer to take the shot? If not, try that next time... will reduce or remove the vibration seen in the image.
Happy shooting and have a nice day.

Good attempt! To cut the glare down a little, you can use the -EV function. That will help to bring out more details.
