AcroSauroTaurus' Extinct animal photography

[AcroSauroTaurus]

I have done lots of photo shoots with my collection, but these are the first ones i'm able to show on the forum, obviously they are all of my Papo Baryonyx.
Daytime.

In the dark of night. (the figure looks a lot better at night.

"The British Croc"

This one I was going for a blurry trail cam look to it.

"The last thing you will ever see." I love this one, looks straight out of a horror movie.

I love the last picture! Maybe it's because you can't really see the Bary's awkward pose there. The picture with the Baryonyx in the water is very cool as well! I wouldn't dare to put my dinosaur models in the water, I'm far too afraid the paint might wear off

The picture of the bary in the water is very well executed and very clever. And I find it rather cute and funny.
Is like... Hello.... I'm here...

The pose actually works quite well for the last picture, and I personally love the "attacking" pose of the Baryonyx, my thought is that next years Iguanodon will have a pose corresponding with the Baryonyx's attacking pose.

Haha, yep, just sitting there... not like theres a giant predatory dinosaur in the water... haha

I've said it on dA and I'm going to reiterate it here: these dios are beautiful! Of the latest (posted) ones I especially love the 'hail to the king' pair. Keep 'em coming!

[SomeRandomPaleoNerd]

I like the agustina and hail to the king (african version) the best.

Some imaginative shots there.  I particularly like "Taking a Drink" (Battat Terra Acrocanthosaurus); also "Jaws ... ish", especially how the body of the Spinosaurus is obscurely visible beneath the water.

Here's my 2017 contest entry, "Father and Son". The photo was taken a few years ago, but I thought it was good enough to save for one of the contests.
