Some what of an unusual angle, but nicely done. Shooting from a boat in the Amazon is not an easy thing to do! thanks for sharing.

The lighting and composition are good, with good sharpness. The angle adds interest to the image.

I like the bird, the perch and the light. The canopy of leaves frames the bird nicely. Personally I would prefer more of a head turn to show the beak a little better but that's just a personal observation. Overall a nice shot.

Beautiful bird, interesting angle, and I love the bright oragne leaves - very complimentary to the green bird.
