I have collected The Far Side comics for years, especially those that are science-related. Sometimes, I will put them on tests that I give to my students. Consequently, I was very excited to take on this particular challenge.
I set this up on my dining room table, all from toys that my kids have had for years. My three-year-old son assisted me (he just thought we were playing dinosaurs). I whittled down craft sticks to look like matches and cigarettes, and had a heck of a time getting them to stay lit for the shot.
The ground cover is vermiculite from a model train set.
I put a lot of effort in this one; hope you like this as much as I do!
Post-processing in PS: cloned out some distracting areas on the dinosaurs, adjusted contrast levels, color balance, desaturation, curves, dodge and burn, crop, save for web.

Although its not the best aesthetic photograph in the bunch, I have a feeling you did this one out of love for the cartoon, In my opinion one of the most funny Far Sides. Im giving you a 7 just for giving tribute to a classic.
