Advice?
Practice and have tons of fun.
I liked your cardinal...a bright red spot in the wintery backround.

I don't have time to write up an exercise right now (maybe when I get home tomorrow) - gotta go to bed soon (...work)...

If I did though... I would focus on metering...

What does 1 stop over/under do? What do the various metering modes do? How does what you meter on affect the photo?

...That's something you can learn from.

Agree

Nice photo for starting out... nice contrast with the cold surroundings. Check out "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. Several here recommended it and I just got done with it last night and it's an excellent resource.
