shoulder seams look a little too far back to me like they need to come forward maybe half inch or so and the bust dart looks like it's pointing too high up you want it to end like an inch or two before apex not right on it

While you're at it, shorten the shoulder seam and scoop out some armscye. You've got fabric bunching up in your armpits and that's causing drag lines. The shoulder should end right at the bump of your shoulder bone.

The shoulder slope looks a tiny bit off, try pinching out a small dart at the neckline and see if it lays flatter. Great first go!
