Nice and simple, I love that there is a bird to add some interest.

Your concept of negative space is good. The sky with cloud texture is the kind of background which causes the eye to search for the subject. And, one's eye immediately moves to the branch and bird. The silhouetted bird is placed fairly close to the left margin. It would have been much better composition to have used one of the intersections of the thirds' lines to place the bird in a much more eye-pleasing composition. Silhouetted images can be very effective. The bird and branch are a bit small in the frame to be good silhouettes. I do understand that a zoom and crop would have diminished your negative space concept. But, it's a trade-off. Whether the bird has detail, or not, the subject is too distant.
