First: I already ordered a pocket square!

This is my first suit, not counting the ones my parents bought for me, when i was a little dwarf, and i never had something in common with suits. But last year for gods sake i decided to buy me a suit. This is it and i feel myself comfortable in it.
I hope there is not too much left to modify. What do you think?

Looks ok in that shot I suppose. I never think much of 3 button suits because they tend to look so boxy. You might want to suppress the waist a bit.

the shoulders look maybe an half inch too wide on each side, can tell the waist fit from the pick.

Maybe its my monitor but I still can't really see your suit.
My tired eyes may be getting old. . .
There is an odd ripple from your left shoulder to elbow though.

Is it really MTM? Shoulders, sleeves and waist look a bit off to me

I think the waist looks okay. The shoulders and sleeves (esp. the sleeves) look off.

I think to the average person it will look quite nice, I think the people with the finer eye her will notice the imperfections, I didn't notice anything with the sleeves until they mentioned it, but they do seem to hang a bit funny.

I think the suit looks nice, I like 3 buttons because its nice and conservative, when people comment on the waist being too big you have to understand their personal style. While I love a cut in wait, I can't stand it when the suit is cut like a V and it's so tight at the waist. I mainly see a certain type of man wearing the VERY cut in suit. I like it suits your body nicely overall. But I personally would subdue the tie knot, it's a litle flashy for me, and not something I'd wear with a three button suit.

From what I can see, the sleeve length of the shirt and jacket are just a hair too long other wise looks good. Nice broad shoulders and it comes in nicely around the waist. I can't really tell the fit of the pants from the picture.

Wait, I'm new to the world of suits. But is this the case for all 3 buttons suits? I think the shoulders of this suit is very boxy. But I didn't know it was all three buttons suits that had this feature. What causes the boxiness? But on to the suit: The sleeve appears to be flawed in the way it hangs. It seems to twist. And the length is too long. But the twisting may just be due to the length and it appeared to twist by chance. I am having a hard time seeing where the coat ends but if I am correct, it appears to end below the thumb nail (I can barely make it out on the wearer's right side). So a bit too long? That's all I can tell from the photos.

It's a very nice fit overall. But yes, the sleeves are a little bunchy

+1, but great first effort.
