Not for bad monitors :))

Marko, I love the idea of this! I doubt I would have ever thought to take a high key image and invert it.

I do think you need just a bit more definition in the actual bird so I did a shadow/highlight adjustment in CS3 and then reduced the noise. I then did a small bit of burning/dodging around the bird's features to make them pop against the black BG just a little bit. I think it gives the same illusion you were going for but helps the viewer's eye grasp what it is looking at just a bit better. I actually think I could have taken this further to better bring out the bird but wanted to stick with your overall concept of it being a dark, reflective image.

See what you think:
