    Welcome Sami! You've got good eye contact here. I think a bit more sharpening would help this image. I would also tone down the whites on bottom right of the image. Look forward to more of your posts in the future! Please try to include your tech specs along with your images.

    Terrific light and details on this common but beautiful species. I checked the histogram in PS and it seems that the whites are clipped. If this is a RAW file you can process the image saving the whites and reducing a bit the saturation. The BG and eye contact are fantastic. Wellcome on board!
