I'm waiting critique

I see you are using the 700D and 70-300mm lens. Because of this I'll be easy on the sharpness since this lens is a little soft.
1st not a bad capture but some areas to improve as well.

Having two birds in one shot makes it exponentially more difficult to get a good shot. Each bird is going to do it's own thing and that thing is almost never posing for the camera. So in order to solve this time is your only option. Try and wait for them both to be in a position to get the eye in focus and if possible with catch light.
I know how tough it is to get the background clean when birds are in trees but it looks as if you had moved about 10-15 feet to camera right it may have given a cleaner background.
This could use about 50% of the background cropped leaving the current ratio and orientation.

Overall this is close to being the image you want there just needed to be a few adjustments and patience prior to taking the shot.
I've done worse.

Keep shooting. Keep learning.

Thanks. Yes, a traid to capture birds expression, but it was to cold to stand outside. But you are quite right.
