Gray Morph Screech Owl

Along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, a gray and red morph screech were fairly close by.

Good shot. If it were mine, I'd get rid of the bright sky at the upper right, crop some off the bottom and add some contrast and brighten it a bit. As presented, I find the upper right to be brighter than the subject and the eyes of the owl to be higher in the frame than my eye is comfortable with.
 
Thanks for the replies and feedback. I have a number of images of the owl; kind of hard to get rid of the patch of sky without cloning or content aware filter as hed be too tight.
 
For those of us that search...and search...and...well you get the point! They are small owls and really tough to find!

Well Done!!!

For Eastern Screech Owls the tree holes you find them in are often as interesting as the bird!

I love the shot as is.
