I like the framing here, nice use of thirds too. Were you shooting with a long lens? The is a bit of motion blur on the birds which is more evident in the high resolution image. Increasing the shutter speed and either opening up the aperture or increasing the ISO the same number of stops would reduce the blur in this low light without changing the lovely luminance of the sky. You probably already know, but for others who might not, a good rule of thumb when shooting with a zoom is to shoot one shutter speed over our zoom to eliminate camera shake. IE, if shooting at 200mm, shutter = 1/250
