I wasn't going to have time to enter this challenge, I was in a play over the weekend that it was due. But on my way home, I found a powerline with a large number of pigeons. I had my camera, and 15 minutes, and this is the result.

Other options were:


but it came down between the entry and this one: I like the entry, but I'm liking this one even more, now that I'm half way through the challenge. :D
