Thanks radman  Stoneage, the background is a forest/park that is about 15 minutes away from me. I didn't even know it was there until yesterday! It's very nice now, with a lot of moss and that nice creek and there's good lighting because none of the leaves are out. A few feet away from where Anatotitan's foot is in the water is where I took the wild safari brachio pictures |

Cool pics, Cordy, movie-like scenes You live 15 minutes from that forest? Man, how much I hate this grey city I'm on... |

That anatotitan one looks like it could be from one of the DK books where they photoshop models onto backgrounds. Nicely done.

It isn't really a vast forest - it's kind of small with small mansions situated around the outside of it. Due to the flooding a large part of it looks like a swamp or the everglades now. |

Yet it's good to have a place like that so near. Is it Autumm there?

The lioplurodon with the plesiosaur prey is really awesome!

Kickass!  The best of the bunch is the Tylosaurus one... Geez, in the first pic it really looks like he's emerging from the murky waters of the deep...  |

Thanks everybody! ...holy Raptor Jesus Batman, those underwater dioramas are incredibly awesome. Where did you take them? I took them in a kiddie pool in my back yard ;D It's only there so my dogs can have a swim after they run around and get hot, but since it's a bright blue color it makes for good tropical-water looking dioramas These are three that didn't make it into the contest:  Two pachyrhinosaurs about to spar....  Hunted!  Hunted Version 2 |

And these are the ones that DIDN'T make the final cut? Jeez, the 'good' ones must be awesome.

Well, only two figures per diorama can be boring, and the locations could have been better.

On the other hand, that would be far more realistic--except in very exceptional circumstances (say, the African savanna) you wouldn't really expect to see more than a couple macrovertebrate species at one time anyway (there are always small ones like birds around, and inverts of course). |

I'm not talking dozens here - just more than one or two. Just so it's more interesting to look at! I think the one that I may enter will work just fine for both you and people who like lots of dinosaurs in dioramas, though  |
