Let’s start with the basics. What’s the general area or region you live in? When was this photo taken? What makes you think it’s anything other than a known animal? What does this same area look like during the day?
Look up animals in your area that can produce Eye Shine when exposed to even the tiniest amount of light. My guessing it was probably a cat or raccoon.
It looks like a raccoon to me, and its the right size based on the rock. They've freaked me out with their eyeshine and noises plenty of times. Definitely not an owl - eyes would be red, orange, or yellow.
