Post Challenge-
Thanks for all who left constructive comments. It's a dark shot and not as well received as I'd like. Bu that's ok. BTW-- Sulamk, There's no fence in the shot,(see orginal), and I still feel it has originality. Hey, we can't all live in South Africa.

Love the subject, but capture and presentation is overly dark on my calibrated monitor. Show me these magnificent animals!

I'm not sure that this works as a low-key image. Some contrast and depth is needed to bring them to life.

It looks like a two-headed bison. I like the darkness of this pic, and the contrast is fabulous.

A bit dark... But, nice and sharp on the eyes. (not voting yet)

This sort of reminds of one of those early-man cave paintings! The lighting is fantastic. It adds just the right amount of mystery yet you can still see the catch lights in their eyes. Nice one!
