This is a composit of 4 different images. I did not like the original BG so I added this one; so, there is one elemet of the composit. There are five others; I will leave it to the critical eyes of the forum to determin what they are;)
For art sake, I like this as is.

Good PS work as I am at a loss. I like everything about it but for the bloom right behind the bill.... The image has a dreamy look.

Nice pose and perch. I like the BG, although I'd probably blur it a bit more. I agree with Artie about removing the flower behind the beak. I'd also do a levels adjustment on the blacks to make them a little blacker. Nice PS work, although I'd clean up the line around the perch.
