Looks like you did ok. If it is for your personal consumption then it doesn't matter how close you trim.

Yeah looks alright, it's a matter of personal preference to some degree. No need to let anything go to waste either, if you trim a lot off you can save the trim and smoke/eat/sell/etc. it later.

I think you trimmed fine once it dries it will gain bag appeal

Throw fan leaves off to the side you're unlikely to get much out of them though you can always try to make bubble hash and see if you get anything. Then trim off any of the sugar leaves that don't appear to have much resin or trichs on them and try to do the same if you want to squeeze something from them. I trim off anything that doesn't look frosty myself. Like soil margin said no harm in drying and saving the trim I save mine for rainy days when I'm out of bud.

The branch on the right is pretty much how mine look before I hang it to dry.

after a few days when the big stems start to snap instead of fold, I collect all the branches and do a closer trim.....

I have a purpose for it all, and none goes to waste
