Sorry to see you haven't had any replies to your post so I'll give you mine. I call these type of shot's "reference poses" something like you would see in a species book and maybe even a little too tightly cropped for that. You have clipped the wings in one of the shots making viewing a bit awkward somehow. Unfortunately both shots are out of focus probably by using a large aperture setting in order to soften the background. I can see the best focus on the first one is on the leaves at the top of the shot, I can't actually see a focus point on the other. Anyway onwards and upwards as they say. :)

If you posted this in the "Photos: Wild and Free" section rather than the "Talk" section, you'd get more responses (y) (and you've double posted the actual pics too :D)

I'd echo the above though, they're tightly cropped, but beautiful subjects, especially the first.
I think you've probably got a little bit of mileage with some small PP to draw them out a little if you were so inclined.
 
Edit to add, I've taken your first one and done had a little play with it (happy to remove is you so wish)

I'm very much a PP beginner compared to some of the guys on here, but here we go:
