Wonderful colors but the green patch on the left is very distracting.

Very nice bird and it looks quite inquisitive. Nice colours. Tough luck on the foliage obstructing the subject at left, I imagine you could not have moved to your right on time...

Lovely colors on this bird and it goes so well against this BG.
