Please don't take this the wrong way, but I found a lot of humor in your story. I was imagining a comic strip character lugging the sculpture around and everything just going wrong. I think your photo is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Many thanks,it was rather humorous,it was a simple idea that ended up being quite involved,which is not what i had thought,or intended it to be-lol!

    I swear this is how 2020 has been. Any simple task has been turned into a process requiring redundant steps and the blood of a virgin. I am praying for a better year for us all.

Considering the metal skeleton's stance,it's muscular looking forearm bones,and especially it's prominent 'switchblade' toe claws I'd say it's meant to be a Deinonychus,another popular dinosaur of the Cretaceous period!
Not that that matters,it's a very attractive,interesting,and delightfully 'Out of the Ordinary photographic presentation!
A really 'Good Show',my friend! : D

What a wonderful composition and creative presentation! It wonderful how you took advantage of the colorful sunset and used your vision to place Rex in the proper position. A lot of effort went in to that but the results are great.

The dinosaur silhouette is perfect. It looks as if the animal claws the sun. Your PoV is outstanding. The sky colors are fascinating. I am impressed by the sharpness of detail.
Your photo is excellent focused, exposed and treated with mixed media.
The dinosaur if perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
I appreciate your interesting comments about the creation of this unusual mixed media.

a very creative approach. the angle of the shot of this dino that appears about to grab the sun with colorful background is excellent. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is perfect. the image is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. very creative approach and awesome work overall(clapping)

A beautiful & dramatic sunset picture with the Dinosaur silhouetted against the golden sunset sky with the Dinosaur front "Claws" ready to grab the Sun's disc in their grasp. Beautiful & dramatic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Looks like and sounds like you went to some lengths to get it!! It is certainly well composed with good exposure and sharpness. Hope it did not frighten too many people! Well done and good luck!

Very cool. The silhouette of this T Rex is bold and dynamic against the oranges of the setting sun is a great entry for the contest. The colors are nicely saturated, the focus is sharp and the position of the main subject in the frame is perfect.

Well done and i wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve
