Challenge: Multi-Image Compositions (Classic Editing*)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: Fernbank Museum - Atlanta, GA
Date: Apr 26, 2003
Aperture: f/3.7
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125

This was taken at a museum in Atlanta. That's my son in the yellow shirt in the lower right corner. I found it somewhat comical that they had this tiny carnivore skeleton next to a great big leaf-eater.

This was a tricky shot. Note that the fossils are complete, but that the top and bottom of the frames are slightly out of alignment. Perhaps if I had taken each shot at a 90-degree angle to the section I was photgraphing, they might have lined up better. Atl east I had fun with it!

Good use of the challenge. I don't think you could appreciate the size as much if it was crammed into one frame. The people standing next to it also work to show it's size.

excellent theme for a triptych :) I think the background color should be more representative somehow...

The people (and staircases) provide a sense of scale that makes this shot immensely more effective. This shot made me think about how I can't even imagine a living one of those suckers.

Really neat series! It matched up pretty well with the outer panels at an angle, but not with the building (I think these angled cells add more interest, even if they don't match up exactly, but a perfect shot would have matched it all using a tripod with a flex head. 9 Rob the Swash (and anthropologist!)

very appropriate ... three images makes it look huge. Good capture. Jacko. 9

Nice composition. It is little difficult to see since the images are so small and there is so much in the image. I wish we could use 800 wide for this challenge!

I like it. Good use of drop shadow.

Apart from the unnecessary drop shadows and outer frame (why frame frames) this makes a really nice set of pictures. 8

Wow! Your use of three panels to fit these guys into the frame was great! The divisions between the photos really helps to accentuate the SIZE of these beasts. I like your choice of the soft green for the background, too. Impressive.

very nice. very fun. i'm not sure if i like the choice of green as a background, but clearly that means i can't find any fault with the photos.

I like the green background, it fits well with the other colors of the shots.

I wish these skeletons could be in a larger format so I could see them clearly. Really fun idea, giving the skeleton the symbolic appearance of longer length.

excellent use of the triptych to stitch this panorama together and show much more than you normally could of this fine specimen! 10.
