White-tailed Deer at Sand Beach

Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Maine. I always wanted an image of a deer on Sand Beach in Acadia National Park. I knew it was possible, I'd found their tracks in the sand many times. What I never expected was that I'd have that opportunity with a buck with a full, mature set of antlers. The deer held almost perfectly still for just a few moments allowing me to use a long exposure that blurred the ocean behind it, adding interest and an unexpected element to the image.
