How was the shooting condition? Could you have moved a bit left to get the owl more in the sun?
Troy, I was eye level with the Owl, and I was on a platform with limited space. I could have moved a foot or two though. I really liked the crouched pose he gave me and the eye contact made me happy!

You got any shots a foot or two to the left?
