The face of a show star

This is an eagle owl. The bird belongs to a falconry which was part of the show programme at the trade fair "Animal 2014" at Stuttgart last weekend. All birds of prey are amazing but the big round orange eyes of the eagle owl never fail to capture me.

 

The light was very low and I needed a high ISO and ridiculously slow shutter speed for this shot. Luckily owls are usually not really hyperactive. :)
