    Nice low angle, but the bird looks very green to me. Hopefully others will chime in on this, but I think you'll need to revisit the white balance. I also think the crop is too loose, especially above the bird. Some more DOF would had helped keep more of the subject in focus.

    Ditto Dorian's comments here, but I like it overall.

    Yes I agree the white balance is not prime here. Nice texture n the water surface. What is in the gull's bill?

    Hi Volkan .... nice low angle and the subject well isolated .
    Like the circle of movement in the water around the bird .

    Personally I think both versions are not " right " in terms of white balance . Another issue is that you have overexposed the shot ...resulting in pink color in the highlights ( at least in the OP ) . There is no way to bring such detail back .... so not worth to invest time for processing .

    Hi Volkan, to me the RP is still not right, it still carrying a greenish cast in the greys. The first element you must do when importing you raw file into any raw converter is correct the WB, I think you are using the wrong tool. I would look to a 16x10 crop and have the subject more to the right of frame.

    Much better Volkan, and yes, you can move this along by using additional adjustments like HSL (Global adj), Colour Balance, Saturation or even Selective Colour (selective adj via layers & masks) just to boost things even more.

    Cheers
