Eye contact and angle look good. I might sharpen the birds more and run NR on the BG as it looks a bit distracting.
If you upload the image to the BPN server, a thumbnail will be created. Images hosted on outside servers don't have thumbnails right now. It's in the works, though.
Eric, I like how they are looking in opposite directions. The BG is quite distracting but I understand why you stopped down to f/8. If possible, a lower angle would have made it better IMO. You could have got better BG blur even at f/8.
I like the placement in the frame and the nice warm details. I think a bit of lightening on the side of the near bird would help. BG is a bit distracting. But overall a very attractive shot.
