Here are some welds I just did in my garage. I have not welded in almost a year and I was trying to basically lay a bead. I know they are probably pretty horrible:
Just wondered what you thought.
Not bad, seems to be typical of my welds too...

I think you need a few more years practice. And don't touch any trailers for at least ten.

Can you tell me what was wrong and how I can improve?

My advice in these circumstances because it's worked for me when I've been struggling - go back to practicing pad-welds (you build up a layer of weld metal on a plate by running parallel beads of weld). Get control of this then start to move onward, little step by little step.
The reason I say this is I think you have way too many variables in play with what you photograph to know where to even start...
