    You have captured a good angle to show off the beak, and I do like the detail on the bird. Good colours, and comp wise, I would maybe take off at least half off the top.

    What an amazing looking bird!! I love the curvature of the bill adapted for the behaviour you describe. Nice colours and details. The flower, although very beautiful in its' own right, is overbearing on the subject IMO. As is the image could use more space to let the comp breath. Thanks for sharing this awesome little bird...a new one for me!
