Near Fatima in Central Portugal there is a place where one can see where Dinosaurs walked.

It was the floor of an ancient shallow see with mud; many Dinos walked there and you can see their footprints

I used a texture and Topaz detail to highlite this one.

Interesting idea or not?

Hi Richard. I'm not sure this belongs in Avian. Where would you like the thread relocated to?

I really like this Richard. Never knew there was actually a place in the world where one could see these footsteps. I like how you have accentuated the footstep.

Not sure what I think of this one, Richard. It took me a while to figure out that the reddish area was the dinosaur footprint. Maybe a little more contrast would make the depression of the track stand out more. The image also looks a little dark to me.

Yes OOTB is a good choice:bg3:.
Reminds me of the 1998 Godzilla movie.

Thanks

Now, another interesting thing is this area was part of Canada way back!!

I have a few more to play with

I like this, Richard! I think you could have a little more detail (or tonal contrast) in the footprint but I think it's cool the way it is. Looks like an aerial shot:S3:

I'm impressed that this is an actual dinosaur footprint! I see the same issues with this image that I had with taking pictures of lava in Hawaii. It is so cool to see in person but difficult to translate the subtle textures into a flat image. Good suggestions already above. Maybe play with a black & white version with more contrast?
