Lovely portrait with stunning light and angle. Vegetation works well but I may go for a tigher crop such as this as an option.

This is excellent.
I love the oranges and the greens!
IQ and light are perfect. IQ excellent.
I like Marinas crop or would add or would add more canvas to the top of your Op.
I really like the little bit of iridescence on the wing,

Wonderful colors, light, feather detail, and eye contact. I didn't notice the vegetation that much, but also like the tighter crop Marina posted. Small, but effective.

Fantastic details on the face, and the light quality looks great. I think both crops work, with a slight preference to the repost. I'd be tempted to clean up the debris on the bill near the tip.
