Deer blends into Forest

I have no idea where I took this scene, it probably was out camping many years ago. I remember the deer just melting into the brush and somehow I spotted her and I happened to have my big 450mm  lens on the camera and took this exposure. It was a slide taken in color with Ektachrome film. I converted this to black and white which made it much more dramatic. With the long lens, and wide aperture, notice the background how the focus drops off. I at times try to do this with my outdoor portraiture. This brings the attention right to the subject.
