Greetings from the Critique Club
This is one of those beautiful images that gets lost in the middle, where nobody comments because they don't find anything really wrong with it, but also because it's not a spectacular shot, one that would get people to at least say, "WOW!".
In other words, this is a very good image, but it is not a wow image.
As your one commenter points out, the details are very good on the focal plane. The out of focus part behind the little bird is beautiful, the hint of a little branch and the blurred colours of leaves/sky. The out of focus part in the foreground (on the trunk) is not as interesting. Unfortunately for you, it is this not so interesting part that dominates the image when you first look at it. There's too much of it.
From a technical POV, your exposure seems right on, and your processing is right for the image.
The image also meets the challenge, that is, it follows the ROTs.
Overall, a beautiful image with a decent score, lost in the middle.
I hope this helps. If I can be of further help, please let me know.
