I like the composition and the shallow dof.

Great colours.

Something about the angle of the bird makes me feel like it is tipping over to the left of the shot, which is a bit distracting to my eye. Personally I would try to rotate the photo a bit to see some different angles.

Maybe a tighter crop would help too. You could remove some of the extraneous background, and maybe remove the bright area on the branch in the upper right, which is distracting to me.

Also, the exposure seems a bit dark. Mind you I'm using my non-calibrated monitor here at work, so take that with a grain of salt.
