A diagonal bisects the image by the rule if thirds while a gentle S-curve shadow plays across the sand. The curve leads the eye to the subject, a single, leafless tree, standing stark against a cloudy sky. The photo is well composed, and the choice of black and white helps generate a mood that is both eerie and peaceful, a solemn and lonely quiet. It's the mood that I feel puts this photo in first place. That feeling fits the brief as perfectly as the image does.
