Greetings from the Critique Club!
I like this, a nice chaotic abstract of bird forms and shapes as your title implies. Why it scored so low? Probably because you have so many subjects in the frame, dpc voters usually like one central figure to draw attention to themselves. There's a lot of front-to-back focus on a lot of birds. Also looks like you shot around noon, which is when the light is most brutal - hard shadows and especially unforgiving on contrasty subjects. In one of my books on exposure, the author pretty much advocates hanging up the camera between the hours of 11am and 3pm for this reason alone. The colours otherwise are quite nice and natural in colour.
That's pretty much all I can give you, hope this critique has been useful.
Feel free to PM me.
