Darkened Backgrounds

Messing around some different post looks as my knees are throbbing today. Changing altimeter with rain then sun-poison for my joints!
Took the background out, or mostly. The Song Sparrow shot, I attempted to leave a bit of what it is standing on for reference.
Tulips-took out most of it all.
Adds drama I think.

The bird looks like I am imposing on his privacy... a bit angry.
Tulips are beautiful

I think that it works best with the tulips, Tim.
I agree. The bird needs to rooted somewhere.

Thanx! The bird appears to be artificial.

I'm with Mike. Works fine for the tulips.
Yes. The critters need to be somewhere.

I think the bird photo would feel more comfortable and natural if you show legs and feet (or what it's standing in/on). As personal preference, I'd leave a bit more background and less pure black because, for me right now the starkness is distracting from the very cool portrait.
The tulip image is delightful. Worth going back and removing the white ID/sales tag + the bit of white between the leaves just above the dirt. The buds look like maybe you did a bit of painting or other edit? The multiple colors are eye-catching!

I like them but would of took the bar code tag out before taking the photo. Edit work is spot on & hope knees feel better.

I love the look, but I think the bird might look better if you could see some of the branch he's sitting on, but still keep the darkened background.

I hate to be a naysayer, but I've never liked the look. Black backgrounds are very unnatural, so the image looks fake even if it's not.
