I like the fact that the bird is holding on to the flower.

Interesting bird, love that beak. Only nit pick I have is I think cropping out the flowers in the corners would have helped, they do not add anything to the image and tend to pull your eyes away from the main subject but still a nice image.

consider sizing to 600 on the vertical so it all fits without scoring - 8

Beautiful shot, great focus on the eyes, I also like the space you have given around the bird too.
