While I've always liked seeing wires filled with birds, for me, I just don't get a sense of celebration from this photo. Also, I might have cropped out the pole on the left edge completely. I wonder how this looks in color? I think seeing this particular subject matter in black and white gives it a more...darker or gloomy kind of feeling rather than celebration. IMO.

While an interesting scene, I think the composition could be improved (crop out the pole on the left and the bottom of the scene to focus only on the birds on the wires). Regardless, I don't think this really fits the celebration focus of the challenge - this has more of an ominous tone with the dark shades and silhouettes.

Cute idea, could use a little more contrast and I would have tried to avoid the buildings in the background.
