Perfect.

Nice shot. We have lots of these birds in Florida, and right now they're doing their nesting thing. Lots of loud cries from the babies, which are huge, as are the nests. The mom and pop like to go out and "fish", then fly around and show off their catch before coming back to the nests.

Very good composition!

I'd crop the sky out of it though to tighten it up a little.

Excellent use of negative space. Very well balanced composition, and not minimalist at all to me. Not happy w/ the TV screen though, as it doesn't go w/ the simplicity of the shot, nor the low tech simplicity of the vase, dried flowers and table. But an excellent foundation upon which to make future photographs. I don't like the color shot at all, but you have a great start w/ the b&W one. If you want to use color (it's a tricky thing) and make it simple, you'll probably have to reduce it to 2 or 3 colors at the most. here, you've got the black TV and stand (black isn't a color), and all the color bunched up w/ the vase/flowers.
