And you succeeded! I find this image to have great balance in the composition, with the beak doing most of the work :) Nice detail in the eye, where it counts.
If you aren't opposed to it, I would clone out some of the brown in the top left portion of the image, just to keep it all green.
I'm not familiar with the bird, but I do see a color cast on the black feathers. That might be there naturally, though.

Beautiful portrait show with great detail and composition. I wish the brown area at the upper left wasn't there. Great image.

Very nice portrait of a cool-looking bird! It's tough to do rainforest photography without the use of a flash. Here it would have helped control the exposure on the BG (which I find to be a little bright) while preserving the exposure on the bird. The coloration of the bird is correct.
