Deer in Our Yard

A group of deer visits our yard just about every day. You can see their well-worn paths in the woods. Sometimes Benny stares at them and they stare back for a minute before walking off. Yesterday I snapped this picture of one from the steps beside the garage.

The light was dim and the deer were in motion, so I decided to tweak the contrast in Photoshop, starting with a poster edge filter.

It's not legal in Virginia to put out food for them in the winter, but they find their own food by eating our shrubbery and even bird seed.
