Personally, I feel that I've brought out good detail despite the shadow (which was caused by the pup's moving closer to the vehicle) and am happy with the results. While we can do our best to position ourselves correctly, if you spend your life waiting for all conditions to be perfect (or repositioning the vehicle), you'll miss out on a lot of good opportunities and images in the interim.
