White Tailed Deer

After coming home from my unsuccessful search for the otter, I took a walk in the woods behind my home. I found this deer who, although suspicious of me, did not immediately run away. I'm very pleased with this image because it was getting dark when I made it. I was at 1600 iso, with an image stabilized 400 mm lens at 1/8 of a second. Pretty steady for 1/8, handheld, even with IS.
