Night sky background? Looks like daylight to me...

Very creative, looks like the skies we used to get in Northern Wisconsin when there was no Light Pollution coming from a city because we were too remote.. GREAT JOB!!!!

I agree, that sky reminds me of a sky deep in the mountains of South Western Carolina or out in northern Arizona. There are still places where you can see the night sky in all it's grandeur with out all the city lights. Nice chop.

The color change on the birds is well done...funny thing, the sky made me think early morning before sunrise, maybe even winter.
There is some areas on the left birds head and feathers that could have been better extracted, but thats nitpicking. Good luck!
