Beautifull Foto. What Camera settings you use to make the dark background?

I used -2 for sharpness reasons as the overall light volume in the room was very low. Because the animal was in spotlight in a otherwise dark environment the black background appeared. There were some small lights in the background which I painted over, but the main background was as black. I hope that helps
