Congratulations on your first entry! You almost got a 4, and you got some good advice in the comments. Plus, you also got 1 8, 1 nine, 1 10, and 11 6's. To translate, that means your shot connected well with some voters.
The one thing that wasn't mentioned in the others' comments - get a picture editing software package and learn to use it. If you can't afford one, you can use GIMP (google for it) - it is free, and does almost as much as purchased packages. I use Paintshop Pro X4 (if you watch, you can catch it on sale for $50 or $60 (it is from corel.com, and sometimes they even run a special on it - usually just before the next version comes out). Of course, you can opt for Photoshop Lite or Photoshop, but they are more $$.
You don't list the camera you are using. Generally, indoor lighting doesn't produce great pictures. But with stamps, I can understand why you'd rather shoot indoors rather than risk a nice, untimely gust of wind!
Don't know about the others, but I'm looking forward to more of your work.
