Lovely moment n monochrome conversion, Gaurav.
TFS

Gaurav, the expanse of the landscape, repeating ripples and a lone tiny flying bird resonates well with the quote you shared. Thanks for sharing.

First I thought, nice caught the right moment, but actually the image would be good also without the bird. The contrast in the textures, beach - waves, makes it interesting for me (Black&white enhance the effect perfect). If the image was mine I think I would go for a 16:9 format and skip some of the top.
