Placed the plant on balcony around sunset, and hoped for the birds trying to catch the falling sun. But most birds had already gone. I did see them go, but didn't think of doing anything for the challenge.
So I waited and out of nowhere, two birds appeared in the frame and the click was a reflex. I waited a little longer but there were no more birds to be seen.

Perfect composition. Awesome post processing. Extremely moody. Unfortunately if I'm likeing it as much as I do, you could be in trouble with the rest of the site. Hope I'm wrong.
