The deer seems to have some kind of unreal or "painted" quality. I thought it was some kind of statue at first glance. I don't think the fence is a distraction; it places the image in context. Otherwise, for all we'd know, you could have been roughing it out in the woods.

@Twelvebit: It stood frozen for a few seconds, those back legs are ready to go. I was lumbering through the woods in my car.
