I like 'em all, but my favorite is the dino2.jpg image -- I wouldn't mess
with that monster!  :)

Dinosaurs aren't (normally) my cup of tea either, but lately I've been
tinkering with Duplosaurs so Craig's dinos come as a very pleasant surprise.

I'd also go totally nuts if LEGO ever released a Flintstones-style product
line at minifig scale, with half a dozen dinos...  :-)

Craig, what kind of cloth is that you've got there for the backdrop?  How did
you get it to lie nicely and curved upwards toward the back?  I snapped a few
pictures today where I used white paper as a backdrop but it didn't work too
well -- it was too bright and carried shadows too starkly.
