Fallow buck leaps a stile
 
The deer itself is not at all anatomical. There are two distinct parts –the body leaping the fence with its feet tucked up and the back view of the forequarters and head presented more or less from the front, toes spread as it makes the leap and the head tossed to one side., which it would not do. The head would have been in line with the direction of the leap. Coming at you. Instead, it seems that this buck wanted toshow off its antlers.
