Hi Gerhard, I like the isolated pose and the BG looks good to me. Focus seems spot on too. As you mention the gloomy skies are working against you here I think.
Liking a lot the posture and perch, but yes the light was not friendly at the time and the wrong direction....liking the hint of blue sky in the backdrop
I like the unique pose and the IQ seems fine to me. Have you tried boosting the White slider (if you're using ACR / LR 4)?
Was going to suggest boosting the whites as has Diane. Think you might be able to recover it quite a bit as there's plenty of detail there.
