I shot this in a studio set up. A softbox from left top, a GoDox flash without modifiers (because I haven't got one for the flash) from the right. If you look closely you can see the 2 light sources in her left eye.
It's the flash that created the shadows, and honestly it was a fluke. I wanted the dog to be "evenly lit", hence the 2 lights. I think I even had a white sheet on the floor as a reflector and my ceiling in the room is fairly low and also white.
I used my 50 mm Canon lens on f 11, 1/200.

Your composition is good, for me those shadows on the leaf are too much, and I just don't get the title ...? "Happy" to have found anything to take a picture of??? :-D

You HAVE to tell us if you sat there all day counting birds to finally get the right number, if you took pictures of birds and realized that this happened to have 20? Or if there were more and you cropped it to 20. And yes, it took me 3 counts to "find" them all :-))). I like this a lot. j

I keep coming back here - not sure what it is that bothers me. I think its the blue on the left. My eye always goes there. I wonder what it would look like if that were the same orangy color? That would make the green bottle, your main subject, the only other color and maybe "pop" more? Maybe others have better suggestions.

I wished you had brightened his face just a little. My eye goes straight to his chest/belly. But excellent image overall.
