Nice work Kurt. Now we're talking dinosaur movies! He sure is sharp looking. How long would you say he is? I'd guess 6".

This one was probably 8" STV (snout to vent). The tail was longer than the STV. Check out the link to full body shot.

Superb shots of a beautiful subject. Congrats on hitting 10k. I always enjoy your critter shots; you're one of the best.

Edit. Great full body shot. You should have included it here.

Congrats, man; and an awesome capture to mark the milestone with! I just realized, the other day, that I'm over 11k and I have NO idea when I passed that mark :p
