The green just shines in this image. Do wish for a little more light throughout, but your focus is definitely on the neck colors and that works well.

I agree with Patricia that the iridescence really comes through, but the image could use some brightening. I think you were limiting yourself by using f/18 here. The only time you should need that kind of f-stop is for Macro work or possibly landscape. For birds, a much lower f-stop is more practical. F/7.1 or f/8 is usually adequate for a single subject with occasionally up to f/11 for really difficult situations and very rarely something more than that. It's important that you keep your shutter speed up because your subjects can move. For the same reason, you should probably be using a higher iso than 100.
