I always thought these types of shots were tough to compose. The post says verticle and the bird's body position says horizontal.

Nice one...perhaps a bit too dark?

Sweet shot, love the bokeh. Exposure looks good on my monitor.

Your monitor is obviously too bright!

Wait....what's that notification I get each time I boot up? Something about being 6 months overdue for calibration. Funny how easy it is to ignore things.:D

according to the histogram, the exposure is proper

Its a nice capture and Ric has a point.

I deal with this frequently when shooting white egrets. You have to expose for the light subject but end up with a dark BG. You get a proper exposure but at times that may mean a less pleasing image.

This capture looks OK but you may want to try lightening up the BG and see how that comes out.
