Well, actually the T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous period, but "Jurassic" sound so much better.
I shot this intending to try and duplicate (With SLR quality) a cameraphone shot I did a few days prior. My intention was to use it in the duotones challenge.
Unfortunately, the floodlights underneath Rex did not come on even well after dark, so I did a long exposure and painted the T-Rex statue with my flashlight instead. I liked this better than how any of the duotone versions came out.
This actually took quite a bit of layer work, Topaz, and lots of Dodge/burn.
Pre-challenge notes:
Expecting this to not have broad appeal and a high score, due to the subject matter and my color treatment. As much as I like this, I think it will not rate highly with the overall membership of DPC. Expecting something in the low 5's.
Anticipated Critiques:
-Oversaturated in the reds
-Not liking overall color treatment
-Overprocessed
-Just don't care for the subject
-Too dark (I tried a lighter treatment but did not like it as much)
Post-challenge notes:
Did slightly worse than anticipated. Note to self: Giant lizards are not a high scoring cliche subject.
