Deer in winter with visible breath.

I found some whitetail deer yesterday in some open hardwoods. I spotted this one bedded behind a log and I could only see her ears. But I noticed her breath condensing in the cold air and decided to try for a shot of that. I maneuvered so she would be backlit and perhaps better show the breath. She stood when she noticed my approach and offered this shot before leaving. On the full size image the breath is apparent on both sides of her face. No wind and the temperature was in the mid to upper teens.
