I think this is your best shot, and one of the best on the site. Absolutely stunning composition - An 'A' shape in the lower half and a matching 'V' above, with the bird placed perfectly.
The colours too are divine, the muted palette of green/grey, makes the ivory of the bill and casque POP, and works beautifully with the superb heart shape of blue sheen on his back!

And all of this takes the eye directly to the banana shaped beak with matching circles of eye and fig in dead centre of the composition. You didn't nail the bird to the branch did you??? Congrats mate, Stunning picture!
