Hi Mohsen
Good looking portrait !! Like the feather detail/texture, nailed the exposure !! Good smooth complementing bg !
Would suggest lightening the beak a little and saturating more? Just about four points .. and btw its sharp to the end !!! Crop wise is just personal taste but would take from the left side so I would not have the little space behind and would also move the eye closer to one of the intersecting thirds !!! Excellent image !!! ... btw like how you stopped down a bit for dof and still had plenty of shutter speed !!!
How did you get the bird in a studio and hold that pose. At least that is the way it looks. Nice job.
Excellent close up portrait. Great detail and sharpness. Tip of the beak looks slightly soft?

A very mesmerizing eye you captured here, the bird is well expose, sharp and good details in white.
You can bring out a lot more details on the top part of the gulls. Here I do linear burn on the top of the head. Then I lighten the gull around the cheek and the iris. Maybe need to lighten up more but you get the idea.

Very nice looking portrait.
I like the very square to the camera look.
Good suggestions by Alfred and I like the additional details brought out by Thanaboon.
A really nice contrast with the bg.
I thought this was an excellent image in your post.
And then Thanaboon brings out even more detail!!
Only thing I might do if it were mine is slightly darken the lighter spot in the background.
cool pic!! i liked it so much i thought i might even give it a try. i liked a cleaner bg. give it the true studio look. also worked the shadows. nice base image!!!
Thanks for all of your kind recommendations.
