Coming back from a birthday party I noticed some sparrows flying near the sunset. I pumped my ISO for an intentional grainy shot and shot this. Added vignetting to draw more attention to the birds
As usual, I'm open to all comments & criticism. Please feel free to ask me about anything concerning the photographs taken.

@Laurie: Hi Laurie. Thank you for your compliment. Vignetting is when the corners of your image gets dark

@Diane - Daily Walks: Thanks so much Diane.. I'm learning from the exact books you've got.. Really good!
:O Looks a bit like I imagine Lukianenko's "Ночной Дозор /Night Watch". Exciting atmosphere.

@SPunkt: Ooh I've never heard of that one before. Thank you though
It's a series of novels (at the moment there are four) of the Good and the Bad and the things in between. About two groups of guards observing each other in great distrust. The Night Watch tends to see itself as the Good, the Day Watch as the Bad. Not to forget about the werewolves, vampires and all the other strange, sometimes frightening things that exist or happen. I prefer the books - the film "Night Watch" is not so creepy as the book (an imagination thing, I guess). I thought the novels really "can't put away" status. Lost some fingernails ...

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the composition. I know this sounds cheesy, but this picture lifts my spirit!
