It's hard to say from only one shot - but here is what I see...
The shoulders are up and look good, but it looks like they could start to over power the chest if you stay on this path.
Don't change anything - but keep an eye on the chest and make sure you are hitting at least one if not two incline exercises every chest work out.
Triceps can be brought up more to give the arms a fuller look.
But don't over train them - three exercises is enough.
Abs look good - hopefully you are training them and working them at least once a week.
And...do not get caught up in isolation exercises and smaller body parts at this point. It will keep you smaller and it does not help create more solid core or help joints get accustomed to new growth.
Just keep doing what you're doing for a few more months and then post a couple new pics so we can help ya get to the next level.
Good work!

Looks like the start of a good physique, keep it up, muscle size and depth will come as more experience and time spent on the weights occurs

It almost looks like your abs lost some definition... might just be the picture. Out of curiosity what is your ab routine now?

If he is bulking, then that would be your answer.
Looking good for 2 months thorpey. Keep up the great work!
