The Eurasian Eagle-Owl is one of the world's largest owls. These owls range from 22 to 30 inches long and weigh between 3.3 to 9.3 pounds and females are larger than males. This owl was photographed in a tent during a display of owls that due to injury or captive breeding, could not live in the wild. The photograph was shot at a relatively high ISO while the owl was being carried down an aisle. Considering the distance, the lighting and the motion, I was ecstatic that the photo came out as well as it did. AIMG 0362
