Hey Paul! We have been missing you! It's great to see you again, especially with such an awesome shot!
This is an amazing work of Art! The B&W is perfect, and what a cool looking island. It might not be a cool island to be on if it's full of rats, but it sure looks cool from a distance.

Very artistic looking, this seems like something I would see in a gallery.

I like the processing in this image - this should be on a wall somewhere and not as a small print.

Beautifully captured and presented.
Great composition and use of light to frame the subject. Very well done.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. It looks as though the compression has caused banding towards the top of the frame, however I've just printed a 24"x20" for my daughter-in-law and it's looks perfect.
That’s great to hear it printed out so well! I hadn’t noticed any banding on here, it must be pretty subtle.

I hear you zeph, and you may well be right. I'm trying to keep this in my "square" LE series.

Beautiful. Can you share some processing details?

I agree Jeffery, and maybe this was not the perfect candidate to include in my square LE collection. Here is the unedited original file to give you an idea of the challenge I had regarding composition.
jim: I usually process my files using either ADP panel or TK. However, this started out as a quick process for FB using LR, convert to BW and a mixture of digital grads. My Daughter-in-law saw the FB posting and demanded a print. I was quite shocked how well the print turned out with these minor adjustments in LR.

Thanks for the info and original Paul. You really found a gem in there - the vision to process like that is more than half the game in modern digital photography and is the essential step to create fine art, which this truly is.
