You lookin' at me? (V 1.1)

I was hiking through Peace Valley Park after we had received fresh snow. As I walked, I spooked two doe from their hiding place and they returned the favor by scaring the bejesus out of me. As I continued my hike, I had the feeling I was being watched and I was. I decided to focus on the foreground to give this a different perspective. (V1.0 can be found here, V1.2 is forthcoming - I believe the doe in V 1.2 is this same doe, she's just not as scared as her friends.)
