Very nice indeed John, you have rendered the greys and whites beautifully. I like the composition and the very sharp eye along with the ring.
You may consider lifting the darkest tones a tad.
Occasionally we get a ring billed gull nearby in New Brighton, I'll keep my ear to the ground for sightings.
