Welcome to NSN !! :)
Lovely bird you got here!

Exposure and colors on the bird look great! It looks a bit sof as I think the critical focus is on the right part of the perch. I would suggest cropping the dark areas off the top.

Nice shot of this bird, Emrah. I think you can work with this and using the sharpening tool on the head and leg area bring out the detail. The dark area is somewhat distracting but could be lightened using the dodge tool. Nice OOF background that sets off the colours of the bird well. For my taste I would crop off all the dark area but taking a bit off would give you a better composition. I certainly don' t have a shot of this bird that is this close! It is looking very interested in something too which I like.

Nice first post and welcome aboard NSN, Emrah!
Head is soft probably due to a shift in focus.
Would suggest taking some off the bottom upto where the branch starts to turn ...

* The image is large, 755x503 pixels. Please take time to read our Posting Guidelines. Keep it to within 650 pixels on the longest side unless it is a pano presentation which can be up to 800 x 400 pixels. Thanks! *

Great opportunity, I suggest you keep exploring this bird. Softness already mentioned, also, you have enough room to create a horizontal image.

Nice close shot BTW.

Welcome to NSN, Emrah. The focus issue is your only real enemy here. The image could be lightened just a smidge. The composition will easily allow a couple of different crops for presenstation A vertical or horizontal in 4x5 format would be nice IMO. I agree; keep working this bird, if it's this approachable.
