4th Place
Dinosaur's Head
by

This rock has been part of my landscaping for years. I never noticed, until I shot it for this challenge, that it had such an unusual shape and so many deep holes and crevices. Kind of looks like a petrified dinosaur's head!

This is a very dramatic shot, bottles. Great clarity and detail, and I love the background as well. Very nice work! Helen

Cool shot - it really looks like a dinosaur head, and I like the purple flowery background!

Very interesting texture in this rock, bottles. Very effective background choice, too.

The shape is very special. For me, it looks like an iguana. I like the contrast between the highly tortured texture of the rock and the delicacy of the newly born flowers.

Wonderful, Bottles!! This is a great rock and yes it does look like a dinosaur's head. I really like the lighting and how you placed the plant material around the rock. Also, the background looks great with the framing and shows off the rock. Nicely done.
