Found this in the Critique Club section:

This is great for the challenge, its simple, and very segregated. Although the subject is hard to distinguish, it feels very alone and separated from everything. I assume its something for birds? The subject isn't too interesting, but its complimented by a beautiful sky, and exposed very well. I love the tones, and going with a B/W is a good choice, especially since the subject is black.

Good use of Rule of 3rds, like the sky, but too much water for me. The shadow of the subject isn't pronounced, so maybe a little bit of a tighter crop would work in my opinion, the water just makes the image dominantly gray.

I think the image scored well, Id give this a 6. Nice job.

One of the rare image meeting the challenge by its composition AND by its mood. Remarkable work, unexpected subject, serene and balanced, impressive.
