The minimalistic appraoch to this setting was an excellent choice, the bird balances this scene so well. Fantastic job of capturing this great photograph.

I love minimalistic shots like this, they are great for 640 pixel max size. Nice job on the smooth gradation of the sky, not always an easy thing to get.

Amazing colours and clarity here. Bird is a bit too small to make an impact.

Too much dead space for such a great silloutte. I think the would look great blown up to huge dimensions, but loses something in this context. Above average score.
