It's so hard to capture animals in their natural environment without the photo getting overwhelmed with distracting elements. In this case you also have the added burden of picking an animal close in colour to the habitat, tricky subject. You made a good go of it, I think a tighter crop would have helped.

This bird, unfortunately, gets lost in the foilage. Narrowing your focus would blurr out some of the background. The lighting seems a bit harsh.

For survival reason's the colors of the bird blend in well with his environment. That also makes him harder to photograph. It would have helped a great deal if you had been able to throw the background totally out of focus. This would also made the picture less busy.As it is, part of his head disappears into the background. 5 Journey
