HI Nishand
I think I like the first posting.  Your updated posting looks like the saturation is up to high.

I think I'd go with a compromise between the two images, Nishand.  I like the looks of the bird in the second version, but the out of focus leaves really start to dominate with their bright greens.  A nice job of finding this one. It and it's relatives are usually very difficult to spot and you did a good job finding the best angle available.  Your focus is right on on this one and the exposure looks good as well.
