looks like you need to turn the heat up a tad and the wire speed down a little more then a tad.

try 20 wire speed and 4 heat, remember your replacing metal with metal, when the weld is bumped up like that your not penetrating deep enough, the cure is more heat and more time in one place.
heres a tip for you, try burning a hole in that piece of steel with the welder, then fill it back in!
i work with guys that have been somewhat welding for 20 years and cant weld as good as that! keep trying !
of course i do 99% of the welding at the shop, i had pics of my beads somewhere.

It's certainly a good start! Do like 04EDGE says and try working on better penetration, then start practicing your vertical up/vertical down welds and welding out of position. You get to feeling really good about your welds when you're going horizontally in front of you, but working at any sort of angle takes ALOT more than the technique you've got now. Keep at it!
