From the titile was expecting something like Paul's elk herd of thousands.
Another very nice shot. Actually I like how the vertical dark trees complement the horizontal brown of the deer.
The snow seems to be underexposed somewhat.
You have raised the bar so high with your other images of the deer that this one standing on its own doesn't seem to rise to that very high standard for me. Disagreeing with Bobo, I miss the warm tones in most of the trees that otherwise complement the tones of the deer so well. I also wish more deer had been facing more toward the camera. Last, either the light or the post-processing doesn't produce the magical clarity in this one that I have come to expect based on your other images. Having said that, this photo would perhaps work exceptionally well when presented with your other photos to display the habits of the deer.

Great capture, nice image. Hummingbirds in the summer...Deer in the winter.
I agree with Bobo , love how the darker tones of the trees make the warmer colours
of the Deer stand out even more .
