Totally cracked me up when I saw it. Reminds me of a science fiction story I read back in the 70s called "Killdozer." It was about construction equipment run amok. (Seriously!) Ann C

This one I just winged, but my usual frame is one that I designed and saved as a photoshop file. I can then just slip the picture in and change the frame and mat colors as I desire. ~ Lonnit

LOL =) great catch, Lonnit! Do you use a photoshop action to do your frames? It is nice what they add to the images. -- Tabs

Hi Lonnit, great catch and the title fits very well!

Victor, I don't really mind the wires. In fact I think they make somewhat of a nice dividing line between the man's domain and the monstor's, like the monstor is just about to invade the man's.

Yes Craig, I couldn't control the sky - it was raining. LOL! But I was happy it was raining b/c I love to shoot in the rain. :)

Yes, I would have liked a slightly greyish white mat with a rusty frame.


Victor, I wanted to do that with the red border but everyone here complains that when I use such coloring in my frames it detracts from the shot. I've done a decent amount of real framing and matting and it is incredible how you can control the areas of interest by the color of the mat and frame. It can drastically change the shot. I think sometimes one might think it is distracting because they don't realize how much it actually enhances the object one is trying to bring out. Once you see the shot without the frame, or change the color, everything else changes. :)

I think the featurelessness of the sky helps this picture. In fact, I'd suggest that if there were a change to the sky, it should be to remove the wires. -- Victor

A brilliant composition, great job. So funny. It's a little disturbing how the sky lacks all color and texture, but I assume that's up to Nature, not you :)

Lonnit- this is a great image, and is very funny to boot! FWIW, I would suggest a modification to Victor's suggestion if you feel you need a border - make the rusty red a thin stripe next to the photo, surrounded by a larger white border.

I saw the original picture, but I didn't see the replacement with its border. I gather this is now the third version. You may have noticed that so far I haven't put any borders on any of my pictures, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. My suggestion would be to have a border that is the color of the "dinosaur", the rusty red color. Maybe some similar texture to it as well. I guess I should think of borders more. -- Victor
