Love the colors, detail, and sharpness of the HB. You did well getting this hand held. You're right that the HA does show off the violet patch at its best angle.
Some may take issue with the bkgd but it is typical of what you get when photographing in rain forests. HB's often won't come to perches/setups with clean bkgd's. Also on my laptop can't tell if it would benefit from a bit of NR.
Nicely done.
