Deer in a Sunbeam-4

This whitetail deer was laying in deeply shaded woods about an hour after sunrise.  There was nothing compelling about this and it would have been too dark for a decent exposure anyway until the sunbeam tracked onto her.  At about the same time her attention was drawn to another deer nearby and her ears perked up.  That was it; the best shot of the morning!  Exposing for the bright deer allowed for the background to go almost entirely dark.
400mm lens, 1/400 second at f/3.5, ISO 640.
