Ah, lovely - you hit the shutter at exactly the right moment! I very much like the crop, as well - perfect match to the subject.
Not entirely convinced about the low contrast - like Iris, I think a little more contrast might be in order... maybe. I see some warm colours in the trees, perhaps if you increased the contrast a teensy bit but desaturated the browns/reds in the trees, you'd maintain the foggy, dreamy look but make the birds pop out a little more. Or maybe you have better things to do with your time...
