Morteza:

Very nice landing pose, good eye contact with landing bird, like the kinked pose of the feet, soft background.

I have mixed feeling about the second bird. It would be stronger if his feet were there. I like that he is paying attention to the landing bird.

I would consider a version without the second bird, and see which seems stronger to you.

I would also try a version with the upper background toned down a bit (lower the brightness a bit)

Cheers

Love the incoming flight pose and the nicely controlled whites. I agree with Randy about the second bird, especially the parts about the amputated legs and toning down the band at the top of the frame.
