Nice feather details -- like the environment -- wishing for a better head turn

You have some very cool birds over there to photograph Ken. Nice techs on this, but I also wish for a little more head turn, but also wish the white flowers were not intersecting with he head. A lower angle (if possible) would have helped here.
