All eyes and ears visible, not easy to do with a group like this. Looks like they're taking refuge under trees to get out of the snow.

Hi Cindy:
You hit the nail on the head. We were driving up a mountain in Nebraska when the snow started to come down very hard. There was a grove of trees off to the side and we saw the deer taking cover under the trees. Rolled the window down and took a quick shot as we passed. Didn't want to stop and make them nervous as they were having a tough enough time.
Jake

The snow makes it for me too. It and the dark background create the perfect atmosphere for this image. Agree with Cindy about "all eyes and ears" being visible - not easy to accomplish, but done very well here, Jake.
