Great image with that wonderful light and BG. Even the post looks good. What's so cool about these owls is......they always look like they are giving you the "Don't even think about it" look. Well done.
I actually do not mind the lighter look. I do wish for more of a head turn toward the camera however. Still a very nice image. It seems sharp and the background is pleasing. I like the tight grasp the owl has on the post.
