Jan:
I like the interaction between the two, the angled perch.
The image overall looks a bit bright to me, and I would consider cleaning up the catchlight in the eye of the right bird, probably perfectly natural, but looks a bit funky.
Besides a slight overall brightness adjustment, I might try a little selective reduction in luminosity on the brightest areas of the BG such as the RUC.

Agree with Randy on the brightness . But the placement of the birds on the crooked perch works beautifully . NR on the BG would also help this image a lot .
Jan you have captured a lovely interaction of these two, nice and sharp . As mentioned I would consider toning down the brightness and catchlight of the bird on our right.
Love the interaction between the subjects but I find the BG distracting and fighting with the subjects for my attention. Would definitely tone it down and I would also prefer to see it more OOF.

Like the placement of the two birds. Nice mottled background as well.
