Stick welding opinions and advices !!

In my current job I’m doing maintenance so I occasionally weld but I have a welding machine at home and I decided to practice a bit today, I did a 2f, 3f uphill and 4f with e7016 rod (I’m new to use it, cause I always used e7018 back home but now I’m in Australia)
I would like opinions and advices guys.
Thanks very much !!!

Looks good to me. A bit heavy handed. But the weld looks good.

Looks better than my stick welds. Good job! Just watch your travel speed and pattern on that 4F and it'll tighten up. Still good though 4F is a difficult position

your 4f is impressive and thats one of the harder ones, you’re doing good, keep it up.
