It's the softness that makes this image beautiful. |

Greetings from the Critique Club!
As previous commenters have indicated the image is pretty soft as you probably already know. This likely due to the aggressive cropping you did. With an image like this I think you can say its just okay ...or
...work with what you have. Its a soft image. Maybe try to actually soften it even more to make it more abstract yet keeping the shapes of the birds recognizable. You could even just blur every but the birds to give the appearance of sharpness to them.
Judging from the sky it was fairly overcast though you shot at the right time or day (either early morning or just before dusk). Maybe changing the white balance would have warmed up the image making this more inviting and working with the love bird theme you were working for.
I think that to get the strong silhouette you were going for you needed to get closer so you wouldn't need to crop and your focus would have been better. To get closer and have all three birds in the frame would have required patience and a little luck.
In terms of the challenge I think this one was pretty open so your image certainly met the challenge pretty well and wasn't a shoe horn in any sense.

it appears to me that you are shouting please punish me for out of focus Composition is excellent with the gesture made by the crows(?), but provided you had a second chance to shoot soon after this before the birds flew away, I would have liked a shot a little from the right so that the third bird would not be covered by the branch like how it is in this photo. |

Great capture, but not enough in focus. |

IF the three birds are deliberately in soft focus then that's fine, but there are a couple of branches that are in focus that distract me form the birds |

for me either this needs to more OOF or it needs to be sharper...I do see your elements equally although |
