Do you have a color version of this shot? For my taste, the B&W conversion on this shot is kinda "muddy." I am by no means good at B&W processing, but the conversion looks like it is lacking in contrast to be a B&W shot. I'd be interested to see the color version as I suspect it would work better. I like the simlicity of the comp and everything else, just not so fond of the B&W.

Here is the color version. It was extremely overcast and misty out yesterday hence the B&W conversion.
Yup, nice subtle image; I prefer the color simply because its brighter than the B&W. In any event I'd clone out the seagull because it just looks like a bad piece of dirt on the sensor (actually thought it was on my screen). And its ever so slightly tilted towards the left.
Nice. There are so few colors that its what I like to call a monochromatic shot. Its a little like my Aletsch glacier shot (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1153351/0#11005340). Come to think of it, depending on decor, this would look nice on aluminum too.
