well first of all it is a very unusual capture! almost looking like a Barn Owl. The glowing eyes are a real problem easy to solve with photoshop (clone a dark part of the bird in the pupilla and keep only a catchlight). the whole bird looks very smooth probably due to noise reduction, but this is not really a problem. the all black bg is a real problem, but impossible to avoid with this technique in the dark
so a very special document but imho not really a great picture

Good sharpness and detail on the head where it counts most.
A good first pic ... welcome to TN

Nice, but not clover. Possibly an Oxalis species.
All the best,

Welcome to Trek Nature.
Not too bad for a first attempt.
Do you have a 'macro' setting on your camera ?
(usually a little flower symbol)
If you put your camera on that mode,and set the autofocus to 'spot' mode,you should be able to get within a few centimetres and get a very close detailed look at this cicada nymph.
You can see one I did recently Here
I'll be interested to see how you get on in future postings.
We learn quickly on TN ... there are a lot of good photographers here all happy to share their knowledge.
Just contact me if you want to know anything.
Cheers

This shot has great potential.
The mist between the trees is beautiful,but unfortunately the roof spoils it a bit.
If you could have captured this scene without any man made objects in,it would have been perfect.
Nice shot though.
Cheers,

Its good to see that there are still such wild places in such a crowded and busy country as the Netherlands.
Lovely capture
Cheers,
