This feels like it could use a little more DOF. Maybe. But then it could be cluttered. Gah. Tough choice. :-)

what wealth, what a panoply of scores.

pigeons are brilliant collectively, by the way, caring for and mourning one another. we might learn something.

Splendiferous light. Fall at it's best.

Consistently absurd. I like it.

Did you go to the local bird aviary or zoo?

I really dug this one, too. I think if you had simply used that negative space in the bottom left for some stylized "Be the light." text, this would have scored higher.

If it was me, I might have experimented, too, with cropping for horizontal perspective (you'd still have plenty of the swarm for context) and selectively desaturating all but that glorious luna moth. But that might have made a slightly different artistic statement than you were going for.

Interesting combination of birds. The pigeon seems out of place amidst all the smart birds. But I like this more the longer I look at it.

Unique image. I get it, but not seeing the poster part of this. ???

Can never be too careful in this colorful world.
A touch of cropping perhaps?
