Fantastic image here Manjunath. First I thought it is a forest fire. The lighting and a kind of converging trees makes composition unique and interesting. Ofcourse flying birds are bonus. On a CRT display it appears it can take a bit more of sharpening but on LCD sharpness appears fine. Thanks for sharing.

This is fantastic where was this image hiding all these days, the presence of the birds add so much to a multitoned image. The colors are brilliant. I would have reduced the top grey by around 10-15 pixels so as to balance the frame. A refreshing image this. Thanks for sharing.

Nice visualization. From the thumbnail I too thought it is a forest fire. Great shades of colours. Silhouette of the trees against the Grey-Brown sky make the image for me. To me the Yellow at the right hand bottom seems a bit over exposed.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.. I am glad you liked it..
@Ganesh: it looked like forest fire to me too, and i actually wanted to name it that .. i have a laptop and i process all my images in that, and most of the images appear sharp in it ..
@VMR: the pic is just a couple of days old sir .. i hadnt seen the birds in it until i checked all the images yesterday, hence decided to process this.. thanks for the tip about cropping the top pixels, which check how it looks..
@Sree: it was extremely bright at the bottom.. if i tried to underexpose more, the gray on top would have become darker.. hence left it alone.. i too wish the yellow was balanced..

Manjunath, Nice composition and image here. To my taste a little bit under exposure will do an excellent impact. Yes a bit of sharpness on tree branches required.

Very nice view, Clouds are benefits to you coz otherwise you might had long spreading of shades may destroy uniqueness making it common, yes truly its advantage that the birds flew from the borders of colors.

Brilliant image Manjunath! The color gradation is amazing and you have caught it well! I am with the people who suggested you the sharpness! Thanks for sharing!
