I still stick with the original. I like the background as it is. As said in other comments I will shoot from an angle or POV where the donuts are not, or are barely visible.

LOl - now, isn't that better? YOu might go even a bit further in backing off the blur to see what happens. But the change in color and definition that you've achieved here gives this magnificent bird a nicer background. (IMO of course)
