 Well, I wish the flower group at the bottom-right were not in frame, but I couldn't really crop that area out. I do like the color composition though.

Crop, NI, levels, curves, layer blending.
No spot edits here.

Hmmm. Don’t really agree that the cut-off-bird is a problem. What I do absolutely loathe is the out-of-focus bit of flower at the bottom-right… with which no one seemed to have a problem. I really submitted this to show off the color composition, which I thought lovely.

I dont like how the bird is cut off, the purple in the foreground, and the background... the composition is lacking...

The colors are fantastic, unfortunetly the branch is covering most of the bird, which takes a lot away from the photo. The bright purple flower is also a bit distracting.

Nice, colourful shot of the bird with good DOF control. I'd have been tempted to crop out the left-most branch.
