Not bad.
Did you do a few touch-and-go's or just one landing?

Good job! And don't feel bad about the stall warning horn... doesn't mean you have stalled, just means you are close to a stall.
If you'd actually stalled completely at that height above the runway, the landing would have been much less smooth!
You kinda dropped it on, but no much, and that's normal and acceptable. Better that than touching down too "hot"!
Ideally, you should hear that horn go off just as you touch down. If you hear it sooner, you're a hair slow... if you don't hear it at all, you're touching down with too much speed.
But they vary... some are calibrated better than others, and sometimes they just don't work. Sometimes you may hear a very faint whine on sort final when you
know
you have a good speed margin... and sometimes the darned thing doesn't make a sound even when you know for sure you stalled at touchdown.
Better to be able to "feel" it yourself, and in time you will.

Looks really good! I've been in a glider 6-7 times and that's pretty good fun, but i've always wanted to pilot a powered aircraft.
Well done!

Nice job! Better than a few landings I've done...
Had to chuckle a bit at the white knuckles - I think all of us have started by having to pry that right hand off the yoke on landing...
Well done sir!
