I was trying to take some sunrise shots with my ND filters and after about 20 shots I decided to pack up and go to work. As I was leaving I turned back to the sun and quickly snapped this shot NO FILTERS!

Looks more like sunset than sunrise, so this seems a bit of a stretch for this challenge, but I will assume that really is your new buddy swimming out there. Colors are nice; I think there is a tad too much foreground compared to the trees/sky, making the crop feel out of balance. Your friend appears to have another bird's wake in front of him, which detracts from the solitude otherwise felt in the shot.
