What a beautiful bird! The composition is fabulous on this image, with the subject looking into the frame and drawing you in plus the foliage framing the subject perfectly. The eye stands out so well from the surroundings but I'd consider increasing the exposure on the bird ever so slightly so the finer details aren't lost.
The colour and light on this image is divine and I love how you've captured some form of asymmetry with the two subjects both looking into the frame. The shallow depth of field helps to avoid introducing any distracting elements to the background and yet you've ensured the focus is pin sharp on the subjects.

The intricate details on smaller lizard species are often overlooked or lost due to their size but you've captured it fantastically here with some of the iridescence showing on the scales. The composition and exposure are good and the depth of field helps to isolate the subject from the surroundings.
