i think it looks morerealistic than the standard worn out "alert" look that most taxidermist do. when i first looked at it, the first thing that popped into my head was a deer that was wiggling his ear to "shoo off a fly". i've also seen them move their ear like this when they hear something off to the side or are irritated by another deer that is close by. my next mount will have some sort of character like yours.
