This is an exquisite shot. I am at once struck by the vibrant colors and the shallow DOF. So much so that It gives a sense of vertigo!! The cross formed by the twigs ant that suggested by the feet gives a wonderful sense of harmony and repetition.

Great photo, particuly like the way you have isolated the bird with obviously a wide open lens.
