This is a great environmental portrait. I really like the colors and the off-center placement. The only nit I would provide is it needs a little catch light in the eyes via a little on-camera fill flash. I wouldn't have to be much, maybe -1.7 flash compensation. It only needs to show up as a catch light in the eyes. It doesn't need to really add any light elsewhere. Nice job Andrew.

thanks, I agree that a little fill flash would have helped, but the 6D only has a flash attachment, and on a sunny day like that one, I really didn't expect to get close to any birds, let alone the owl..so I didn't even have my flash with me... and by the time I had activated it all the owl would have flown... it took off literally a split second after I took this image.. unfortunately the sun was also in the wrong position to get any reflection from the eye.. that said, I believe the pair of owls are regular visitors to the tented camp which was not far away from where this was taken, so if I ever return, I shall be better prepared
