Cheese!
I'm still not sure who was more surprised...this deer didn't flinch for the entire exposure (only 15 seconds, but still) and then just calmly walked off.

Oh my god... that's just not fair. On top of hogging all the talent, you can command wildlife with your mind! Quit bogarting all the superpowers, my friend...
Spectacular, man.

Ha! What a coincidence.
DimTim [deleted] (74 months ago | reply)
First class.. I imagine you couldn't believe your luck. If you had needed to reposition yourself to take this shot...the deer would have made a fast exit!

Wow! Amazing! The deer standing so still, very priveleged.
dooda (74 months ago | reply)
It generally takes a deer 15 seconds until they truly believe that they're invisible and that no one can see them. He's pretty sure he confused you, and then calmly, smugly, walked away. Cool shot.
