While you got the eye's attention on the mouth, I find the tilt effect awkward. It looks like the dino should be falling over.

Sorry but this is the poster child of overdone.

Oversharpened.... Check
Too much clarity... Check
Oversaturated Sky.. Check
Tilted Camera....... Check

Stathunter is right.

And not your fault but, who landscapes a T-Rex????

It's on display with many other Dino's on a goat petting zoo type farm I just liked the look if this guy fierce open mouth.

Haha, that's the first thing I thought... The image is sharp, but it's a bit ott with the pp for me.

It's a T-rex...of course it looks "fakeish". You fittingly turned the image into a cartoon. I'm willing to bet this processed image is far more interesting than the original.

I would, however, re-think the tilt.

I think the image is way over processed and the extreme angle doesn't do a thing for it. Sorry.

Yeah, overdone for me as well, and the tilt just looks wrong. The tilt (if you must have it) would probably look better if you rotated the image into portrait orientation, at least then he would look more like rearing up than falling on his face. His head should be at the top of the image to show his size, towering over you, not in the lower right hand corner. It would also have been better to crouch down to emphasize the height, and not have your shadow in the shot so much either.

When doing something in editing, it needs to be done for good reason, and to improve the image. Tilts can improve shots in many cases, but this isn't one of them IMO, it just looks like you randomly pulled effect suggestions out of a hat and applied the tilt because it said "apply tilt".

thanx for the feedback,i didn't apply tilt in post that was the angle of the fisheye lens,i was experimenting with diff angles,i drive by this location many times so ill head back for some follow ups.

IMO, changing this to portrait orientation helps a bit.

tough crowd in here today. i'm with this ^^ guy. i think a 90 turn counter clockwise might be better than the current. that's the only real problem i have with it.

well, the shadow of the photographer is a bit distracting, :P
