Deer

As far as I know it is a deer. She was along side of the road when I was driving out of Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta this past summer

Beautiful nature shot, and you still must have gotten pretty close to the deer -- very sneaky :)

Looks like a mule deer to me , as they are more meaty and stout compared to the whitetail deer of my part of the country. Have you ever considered taking up hunting, if you can get this close with a camera your close enough to put her on the dinner table. ( Sorry about that comment if hunting isn't your bag )

In any case this is a fantastic shot, your framing and exposure are impeccable here.

@Fred: It's pretty easy to get this close when it is right next to the road and I shot out the window!!!! :) Sad but true

Hey Shawna! Shooting out the window of a car is completely legitimate! Don't apologize. It is still a great capture! You still beat all the photographers that didn't pull over to take the shot! Great job here! I pull my car off to the side of the road all the time to take photographs!!! I especially like this technique when someone else is driving so I can begin adjusting my camera before the car is stopped.

@Craiger: There is too many times we do not pull over to take the shot. I was in the mood to shoot that day. It took me an extra 3 hours(actually more because I pulled over to sleep at 11:30pm and took off at dawn) to make the trip from a small town outside of Calgary Alberta back to Regina Sask. because I wanted to shoot on the way home. I sadly did not have a driver with me. that would have been sooooo nice that day.
