Beak and head need sharpening and I would remove the second small catchlight. Head turn is enough for me but barely...
You post a lot of different birds, this is a nice one..
Volkan, the colours look good, I quite like the side lighting, it makes a change from flat light. I also get the impression it could benefit from a little more sharpening, maybe the tip of the bill is not quite in focus? I would consider a perch without a snapped off end, (it draws attention from the bird).
Hi Volkan, looks like all the PP has come together nicely and you are finding your feet finally.
Good you kept the SS high, you need it for these guys, but just watch your DoF if the head is slightly away from you, as the beak tip will start to go soft. The files from the MK3 are a lot cleaner, so PP should be easier for you and the sharpness in the Raw is oh so good. Agree with Jon on the perch, they love new perches and will always investigate new ones, so lookout for a better perch. Based on the OP I think going Landscape would have been a better option, so the KF is looking more into frame.
Overall I quite like the lighting here, but you could just open the darks/shadows up a little and with some selective tweaks in the Saturation sliders, Colour Balance, (both in PSCC) you could punch up the colours a wee bit more, however we all see things differently both on our monitors & perception, so matter of taste to a degree.
Well done, all the best.

[QUOTE = Jonathan Ashton; 1253654] Volkan, renkler güzel görünüyor, yan aydınlatmayı çok beğendim, düz ışıktan bir değişiklik yapıyor. Ayrıca biraz daha keskinleştirmeden fayda sağlayabileceği izlenimini edindim, belki de faturanın ucu tam olarak odakta değil? Uç kısmı kopuk bir levrek düşünürdüm (kuşun dikkatini çeker). [/ QUOTE]
Jonathan'a teşekkür ederim.
Değer kattın. kesinlikle haklısın
F5.6 It was a wrong choice.

Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for your help. You are valuable to me, master. If you have permission, I want to put this on my personal site. I'm not drinking :) I'm sending love
Hi Volkan, taking the file into LR the image is sharp, but you did need more DoF... say f/8 as the bill is soft, but the KF is super sharp with good detail. The white flash isn't blown, but I think either 0 or -1/3 EV may have been better. Your in camera settings need to change, but you have that now. The detailed info both Andreas & I have given you means you can deliver the image as there is nothing complex or using third party stuff, so keeping it simple is key. At ISO800 there is no noise in the file and so certainly no need to use NR, not that you should ever do at 800. The file being landscape is better than the OP, and provides many options to crop.
From the file supplied this a quick take as it needs very little PP, all under 10 mins from import.
BTW when I saw in the intro Canon MK3 I thought it was the 1DX MK3, it's not, so disregard my earlier comment.
