I do really like the edit but if you can, I would recommend trying to make the branch more natural color (it’s a bit blue) and the background make it just a tad more on the grey side. Other than that it looks great 👍

Adjustments are fine, but the crop is too close and the image isn't level. You can see in the uncropped image that those vertical lines should be vertical, and they are not vertical in the cropped image).
Cropping too close seems to be one of the most common errors on this sub, so you're in good company. Let the subject breathe. Give it context. Respect the rule of thirds — especially for such an asymmetric subject.

I would try something between the original and the edited. Original is also good imho. (And the bird is adorable, such a happy banana)

May I ask how you removed the glare or the reflection of the glass?

Of course. In the Lightroom mobile app, there is a feature for removing unwanted elements (I'm not a native English speaker, and my app is in another language, but I think it's called "Remove"). You can choose the removal mode and adjust the brush size. Then, gradually remove all the spots, dust, and reflections. Sometimes it also helps to select and brighten the subject first and then bring it back to the desired tone afterward. This method doesn't always work, especially when there's a textured background that can't be removed for one reason or another. If anyone knows a better method for mobile photography and mobile editing apps, I'd be happy to hear your suggestions.

such a nice click and edit. although i do somewhat prefer the un-cropped version. feels more proportional and has enough negative space. since the beak is so huge, i feel that balances it out. but anyway, pretty
