Personally I find the bird life distracting in an awesome image - then again the bird life could be interpreted as pterodactyls in a millenium long gone by, before humans even evolved,well done

All I have to say is WOW. May I ask what sort of processing you did with this?

Thanks windrider. I haven't done much to this photo at all, just cropped and darkened the birds a little. It was quite an amazing sunset, there was a lot of smoke around due to bush fires. We were staying high up in this apartment which gave us good views of these mountains, so i had set up early and had plenty of time to play around with different exposures and filters.
