Don't know why, I just had an urge to do a dino pic. Got this done right before I became really busy. No post, poser 5 model, lots of pre texture work. I'm not happy with the shadows in the middle of the pic. Any comments welcome.

oooooo, I like dinosaurs...it's a little hard to see him though, how about a heavy leafy canopy with the sun streaming down instead being backlit...just a thought...I like it, good start!

Stephen, Indianna Jones Meets Jurassic Park !! I dunno maybe change the shadow color? I like the light rays. Very well done, - TJ

I like the light rays too. I think it would give the image more depth if the guy was off center. Just a thought. Lovely work. TT.

Looks cool. Add some leaves in the trees and on the ground. Keep the streaming light, adds a lot to the picture. Add a big fancy gun in the guy's hand or on the ground. The dino will get him before he uses it though. It will be just like Jurassic Park 2. The rule for the first 2 Jurassic park movies was if you had a gun, you were dino food. Must have hired the mercs in the 2nd movie at a bulk discount.

Just a thought - I'm a bit jaded i admit - but the image is done in a low key manner. With the action that's being portrayed and the sun being bright enough to cast such strong rays, just feel that upping the contrast a bit and making the colors, especially of your lead character more vibrant and saturated would give the image more "pop". Keeping the shadows growing ever darker as they go back into the mist behind your critter, then having the scene become brighter as it comes toward the viewer might also give even more depth to the scene.
Composition is good as is the capturing of "the decisive moment" that grabs a viewer's attention. Not wanting to sound critical of what you have done, just wanting to give a few ideas for consideration.
best, hewsan
