Nice job! Especially for a first time covering job. I remember my first attempt. I really wouldn't want to show it. 
You should be proud of yours, though.
Here is how my SE turned out.

You will enjoy the SE. It is a great flying plane. I added a large counter balance to my rudder, and it will only barely hold a KE. I am not sure why. The stock rudder looks rather large, but reviews said that it wasn't large enough.
If you have any questions, let me know.

One word of advice, for what it is worth, you might want to either epoxy the bare wood around the engine or cover it with monokote. Fuel will break it down and weaken it. You may have alreay used epoxy but it is hard to tell from the picture.

Yea get some 20 or 30min finish cure epoxy and an epoxy brush and get all around the engine area. BTW You might want to seal the covering a little better in front of the cheeks, I made the mistake of not sealing the covering on my wings and i thought it would be fine but 5min into the flight it starts acting wierd so I land it. a huge piece of covering on my wing peeled back, Im surprised it didnt crash. That is a very nice covering job though, my first time didnt come out so bad either.

RE: somthin extra pics
im a flight instructer. (14) i know to young haha. Ive had this happen mainly when i train on club training saturdays it hasent happend all but once except i remem this dj w/ a big ego he flew w/o license i watched him at the flight line and boom 1*2 piece of covering comes off still attached (turbulence). it dipped below a treeline 600 ft out so he froze i thought it was a gonner but i took the controls pulled vertical and fought it all the way in for a semi rough landing. Doesnt help that i did it because he destroyed it 1-2 flights later.
