Nice photo of an absolutely gorgeous bird! Note to self: Self, you need to go to the Philippines!

Personally, I wouldn't have cropped it so much. I think SOME cropping of the original would help, but I'd just crop to just a bit right of where that one little stick is coming up off the branch, and then maybe just a little off the top and bottom.

Beautiful capture.

Beautiful capture of a stunning bird. I like the composition of the original but as Sharon said you might want to tighten it just a little.
