Very atmospheric Joe. Maybe a tad off the bottom ?

Very atmospheric monochrome effect, like it, agree about trim off bottom.

Lovely scene. The background is stunning! Agree about the crop.
Works well in B & W. A lovely Winter image. Agree about the crop at the bottom.

I think the main interest in this image is the frosted background trees and shrubs, rather than the gulls, which imo provide an element of foregound interest, rather than the main element of interest. If this were my image, I would re-process it to increase the impact of the background elements utilising the full range of monochrome contrast that can be pulled out of this image.
