Hi,
why black-and-white?, seems obvious to me... there's basically only one
color in the picture, so if you turn to grayscale, you won't loose alot.
Open it in an image editor and use the tool to pick colors; try to get
the HSV-value of some pixels and you'll see that the H-values are very
similar allover the picture.
I noticed because I've been experimenting with a conversion tool to make
duotone images (i.e. images that can be printed using two inks, most
likely black + a spot color). When I run this image through the tool, it
has very little effect, since the source image is very close to a duotone.
Here's the comparison:

(I also added a version using a different spot color, closer to red)
Groeten,
VIc
If you like to read more about my experiments (and maybe give feedback),

Anyway, I haven't time to try now. So most likely I'll forget the idea ;-)

Well done Tim.
It's uncanny how the background hue matches the bird's.
I think it could look nice in b&w too.
Why?

Here is another Skua, shot at the same trip. In fact, I wonder if it is
the
same bird.
This one is a more strait forward composition, read less exiting. But
because of how the colours match, I like it a lot. I think it could look
nice in b&w too.
It also shows better what the crappy(?) old manual focus Tokina lens can
do
under near perfect conditions.
