 It's a seagull, I've got nothing more than that :(

The brown background comes from the muddy Warkworth River, it's tidal.

I wonder if the dominance of the brown bg may have contributed to a lower vote by some. Might be worthwhile for you to play around with hue&sat to see what happens. Or maybe duotone with blues?

Still, this absolutely sings!

This shot really has my attention... I keep coming back to it.. I hope you post your settings.. it's an abstract to be sure but it has enough reference to the seagull as a seagull that you see what it is instantly - just love it!
