I like this. I like the big swathe of frame to the bird's right,
which is empty enough for a "flighty" bird, but not so empty as
to be just "space"; the foreground and midground branches, and
the blurred trees in the background work for me (the latter with
the bird nicely fitting within it, just below the sky). Whereas
the bird might otherwise have the stillness normally only
provided by a skilled taxidermist, the space has me seeing it
being a bird's heartbeat away from flight.
