Wonderful shot. Seems to be saying "who's your mama?" :D

Great crispness of the staring eye.

could you get a bit more detail out of the blown areas on his nose? Other than that it is very nice, and well presented as usual. Do you have a library of nice frame actions?

lol,. great shot!

My only critique is that the title should have read "Velociraptors"

... on a forum where we take lots of photos of Hawks, Eagles, Flacons and all manner of accipiters and "Raptors"... the title did not lead me to expect a Dinosaur! :)

Nice shot.
May I suggest a little PS.
Select the eye with the lasso and add some unsharp mask to get a
"killing eye" :) :)

Unfortunately I cannot. But since this one is taken at an exhibition, I can go back to photograph some more.

... Other than that it is very nice, and well presented as usual. Do you have a library of nice frame actions?

I developed two framing actions for PS for EOS 10D pictures of 3074x2048 pix (landscape) and 2048 x3074 pix (portrait) that generates a matte border of 600 pix and a frame of 100 pix. The colors for matte and frame (= also color for the signature) can be selected and the signature positioned during the action. The framed image is then save as PS-file, JPG-file and a copy of the JPG-file in sRGB mode for the internet with a maximal hight of 800 pix for portrait and 800 pix wide for the landscape action. For the signature the action refers to <Select Brush "2004 Signature">. The "2004 Signature" is a brush shape I developed myself.
Both framing actions and how to make your own signature you can find on my web-site:

Correct. I changed the title.
