 The diplodocus in the main hall of the Natural History Museum in London.

- Rotate
- Crop
- Curves to lighten and slight tone change
- Smart Sharpen

In the non-basic editing version of this I have cloned out the people on the bridge, the top of someone's head bottom right, and also helped the dinosaur stand out more by selectively sharpening it more than the background. I'm still not really happy with the colour tone of the photo, any ideas on how to improve that very welcome!

Interesting composition, well exposed (which I guess must have been tricky)

I like the lighting in the image. It doesn't have a lot of focus to it, but nice attempt.

Nice use of the available space. The magnitude of the dinosaur is really made apparent by the people on top of the balcony type thing.

nice light and good focus. did you manage this handheld, or do they let tripods in? the only nit I have is the doors in the lower background, the blown out highlights don't mesh with the soft, high light in the rest of the image and become a little distracting. if it was possible to push the angle up a little more, without having the skylights create the same effect as the door this might have been a little better. - 6
