You have put the sharpness level to the foreground. It should include also the background. The whites are indeed blown out. The asset is overexposed.

In general it is a nice picture. If you do have the raw version of it, you may solve partially the issues and try again.

Hello,

I think you could alter the colour temperature/white balance. For me, you have a slight green cast. Add a bit more tint, and make the image a bit warmer.

It could be a little sharper but, the problem is overexposed highlights. This can be seen in the Lightroom histogram where the indicator is "on".
