    A night of freezing fog had coated everything in ice crystals. The following morning was clear and brought the deer out of their hiding places. 7D, 400DO + 1.4xTC, f6.3, 1/125s, ISO 800, +2/3 EC, handheld from vehicle, small crop on sides and top.

    I echo the above comments & add that I like the bits of frost on the mule's ears.

    Good crisp image of this deer. Well done. Isn't this called hoarfrost? I saw this in Kansas once. IMO one of the

    greatest weather spectacles in nature.

    Happy New Year Steve.

    The killer frost really takes this to a higher level. The deer looks perfect the that stare and stance.

    I am debating on the two tall stalks in front of the neck. Not saying take them out but at first i did not like them. Kind of growing on me know though.

    Thanks for the comments everyone and a Happy New Year to all.

    Jack,
    I believe your right on the name and you're definitely right about it being a great weather spectacle. There was no evidence it occurred at all about two hours later.

    Robert,
    I debated about the stalks as well but left them in as I thought they helped show off the frost better, were centered nicely on the neck, and didn't cover any detail on the face.

    Happy New Year Steve. I always enjoy these head on poses/stares, and especially if they have their ears out. The surrounding foliage certainly looks cold, and I like how we can see a few droplets on the head. Nice and sharp for the ss. Well captured.
