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.
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!)
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!
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.
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.
