This is a cute owl Chris and one I have never seen. I might crop out a bit of the BG and make the bird more prominent. And from what I have learned on the site, side-lighting does not seem to bring out the best in your subject. Maybe a bit of S/H on the left hand side would help to bring out the details a little more?
