Crop the distracting stuff on the right up to close to the tail.

I was overly concerned with getting as much of that green on the water as possible, this works well

it was a “thing” to catch these. They were called Tpops.
A neighbor in the city - New Orleans - had one in a horrible bamboo cage.
I worked at a public aquarium with a huge Amazon exhibit. I told her I could release the bird there and it would be happier. She somehow agreed, and as soon as she left I let that bird out the back door, and there are good lies, y’all.
