Go back to #3, the cloud thing looks great, the curves really contrast nicely with the angles of the bird; maybe smooth it out a bit though.

The wings look nice, but the top half lacks volume in comparison.

Also, nice colours.

Perhaps something towards this direction?

New version is good. I like it.  ;D Maybe some anti-aliasing?

I guess AA looks better at some places, especially on the back and on the head. I really think the wing can be improved as well, right now it looks like a black gap on the bottom.
And I get the feeling that something is missing, it looks so simple.

I must say I really dislike the faux graffiti splodge styled background - I think you could get some really interesting shapes and forms into it if you went further with the detail. I'm imagining a larger array of smaller bubbles, more curves... hmm hard to explain. Not keen on the large cirlces and straight drips. Love the bird.

It isn't exactly hard to imagine there's a more suitable background for it, perhaps the 'splodge spray' is not the "one". Guess if there should be a background at all is should be somewhat in style with the bird, I'm thinking colours.

Here's my inspiration source http://mattsewell.co.uk/?p=744

And:



Forest background? Clouds? The bird in a tree?

Edited some more again. Played around with colors, mabye the backgrounds are to noisy and draws too much attention away from the bird.

Here they are anyways:

Loving the second one.  First is too boring, third looks like someone spilled something and you're looking at it top-down, fourth is way too busy.  Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

I peeped over at Google and searched for some real photos of 'Blue Tits', lol, and made a quick edit from what they looked like. It kinda looks like an parrot almost. Does it look better?
