I'd like to see that owl up close and personal. I think it's neat. I note that others have suggested shooting with a shallower depth of field. You may want to invest in a set of neutral density filters to help you control this rather than wait for a cloudy day which will erase many shadows. Now I'm thinking that shadows may also be an enemy in this sort of shot because it is so complex that they add to the visual confusion.
