For those that were wondering. This was taken at the Houston Zoo. The trainer had the bird out and was talking to us about her. There was a dull green building behind the bird (have some shots with that background and maybe I should have entered one of them) but I noticed this bright green metal bar could be used as the background. I like the green background but I can understand how others would not.
I like how the owl is placed in the left hand side of the image, really uses the negative space well. The background feels unnatural to me, more like a green screen than the outdoors.
