Feeling a no for me tbh.
Obviously the subject is the sole focus but to me it feels/looks ’fake’.
I think it would work more if there were hints of the background still and the predominantly dark/black background a result of the lighting/environment at the time. Hope that makes sense!
Nice shot though.

I had this problem with Kingfishers earlier in the year. I was happy to get the images but the black backgrounds I got at times failed to grow on me.
As the sun got lower in the sky in September, the background started to light up too, making a much more even exposure.
When exposing for bright whites on a bird like this, the BG often ends up very dark.
