Thanks to many of you for your tips, I was finally able to capture a bright object in almost complete darkness surroundings. This image was take in bright day light, well almost, around 6:00 pm, sunset was around 8:30 pm. I used SPOT metering on the white and then under exposed it even further by -2/3. This is the result. Very little post work, mostly the border. Thank you all for viewing and thanks to those who helped me.

Well done. He really stands out from the background. And thanks for sharing the tip; I'll have to try that.

Same for me : I have to try that too... although I just took a swan pic facing the sunset and so it is overexposed, but I like the outcome... I will upload it next week... Good work and Thanks ! :~)
