  1. I see a dinosaur. You riding the dinosaur. It looks like you are fighting some sort of animal. I like the fog aspect added to it, it gives it an eerie feeling

    What I see in the image and how I interpret it is, one the idea of childhood and playing outside fighting different monsters, as in a form of using your imagination. Two again fighting monsters but dealing with them on a personal level and overcoming what is bothering you.

    For me I think the black and white image is a little dark, I think if it had more contrast it would be stronger. You also lose the dinosaur in the trees when it reaches the final image so I would address that to. For my image I struggled with the background. I think if I would have been able to resolve the background it would have been stronger. I think if you used a different background it would elevate your image to that next step.I think it would be awesome if the dinosaur was bigger too.

  2. I see that you are out in the woods riding a dinosaur. You have a stick in your hand like you are fighting an animal in front of you. There has been fog added along with a darker overly. I can also see you are looking down at the animal with little expression.
    I can interpret the final image with an imagination aspect to it. You are in the wilderness riding an animal feeling brave and fighting off something. You also used the rule of thirds. You are not right center but rather off to the left as well as the other animal being off to the right. With the fog and dark tones it makes it more mysterious in a way wondering what will happen next. It keeps the viewer wondering.
    I think you did a good job making this have a story aspect and keep the viewer wanting and wondering more. I do think that the dinosaur blends in a little at the end with the smoke and darker tones so maybe lightening it up a little or having it contrast from the trees would really make it pop just like the animal you are fighting does.
