Spectacular black-light. Where??? Love the killer plumage, the SH, and the pose. Would lose the few light areas in the upper right. It could use a bit of eye doctor work.

Beautiful image Sid!
I think the white bird looks great against the dark BG.

Thanks for your kind words.
Image was made at Gatorland.
It is more of a flash as main light image than a back lit image IMO. Here is the original just in case if you are interested.
Thanks again.
Nice image with great post work Sid, I agree with Artie the eye could use a little punch. BTW, I know you haven't even gotten to the good ones yet... ;)
Sid,
Excellent capture. The white on black really works and the action captured make it shine.
Very good work on getting the BW look. Excellent.
Nice action Sid and I like what you did with the BG. Now I want to see the really good one i know you have:)

Contrast with the BG works very well here. Agree with Art the light spots should go.
Bill and face colour looks great.
Great shot here :) - the bird really stands out against the dark background and the contrast works great. The black and white look also makes the green on its bill stand out. I agree about the eyes having more punch though.
