Congrats on an excellent photo, Gringo. Van is correct, this is a Cape Buffalo, and is probably the most dangerous animal in Africa.
Was this taken in a Natural History Diorama?? |

| The skeleton in the background and the catchlight in the eye along with those curvy horns make this an extra special photograph. 8 |

| This has a great tone to it. The image is nicely sharp, dof is good, and I like the bones in the background. Composition is great, and the catchlights in the eyes really stand out. The horns have great texture, so does the hair/fur on the face and back. |

| Nice shot and the sepia is great. The carcasses in the background take away from the theme, though, since the Ox is about abundance and having enough to eat. |

| Good shot. I like the bones in the background. The picture is just a little soft. Good catchlights and I like the expression. 7 |

| those bones in the background are fascinating - what is the story here? The ox is well caught too - nice detail, great expression, I like the sepia tone. |

| Interesting subject and setup, . I would like to see the ox more made obvious(maybe more light on it, or /and more contrasted?) |

| I'm only guessing, but is this fake? Either way, I think the bones in the background really add something to the shot, and the sepia works well too. |

| Gorgeous. I love the offbalance look with the overpowering image of the ox in the foreground, and the bones as a subtle background point. |
