    Nice image, sharp, killer bird. Bummer on the tree trunk in the middle of a horizontal frame.

    Awesome colorful bird, nice and sharp, nice light, I would take the effort to clean this one up and remove the tree in the BG.

    Tree bit covered,still a lovely tropical scene with all that vegetation growing on the perch,bird itself looks fantastic that magnificent beak certainly holds your attention,fine piece of work.

    What a difference a tree makes. Nicely done in the upper half; might have taken it down a bit below the bird, but no biggee. Colors and tropical habitat are wonderful. I'm surprised you didn't go for a higher ISO and a bit more SS in the forest, although I'm not seeing any ill effects of the relatively slow SS.
