Ed,
I like the top, but the rest looks a little like a plantpot I'm afraid. having said that for a first attempt it's more than passable as a bowl.
A couple of tips,
Try to see what you want to make before you put the tool to the timber, then try to make the tool make your vision. It will not come straight away but it will come.
And the second (and something many of us are still guilty of),
Don't try to maximize the turning to the size of the timber. Allow for some to be cut away to enable you to shape the foot you ant, not the foot you are left with.
