Those little guys are impossibly cute . I like your perspective here as well. Details look pretty good but you need to revisit your processing here. There is a considerable amount of noise in the whole shot. Also I think you could raise the exposure as well.

Hi John, your comp works well, and I like how we can see the two heads peering out from their nest. I agree noise is visible, and if you are ok with it, I would remove the distant OOF piece of tree below the lower birds beak.

This is really nice John.
The scene as presented is so pretty.
As soon as I looked at it, I felt it needed to have the exposure increased by at least 1/2 stop and some NR applied.
I did not notice the protruding piece of branch until Stuart mentioned it. I am OK with it but could also see a version with it cloned out. A step to your left would have eliminated that OOF branch.
I love the red on the tree. Adds a nice pop of color.
Birds look great with nice HA's,
Gail
