I personally love this print. Even with the Raptors. The colors are spectacular. Probably my favorite McCarthy of the year. Too bad I'm broke.

I'd like it a lot more if it were just a guy walking his dog through the woods...but Dan has the dino theme he keeps revisiting. his art, his choice. I love the trees though, very well done.

Reminds me of Wompatuck around 2 weeks ago (minus the dinosaurs) :D

I wonder how many people will buy this and realize after they buy it that there are raptors running at the bottom and cry foul?

I'm with those that love it, but won't buy it because of the dinos. . .

UGH, I just realized this will fit nicely in a frame I already have with a simple thin mat. Now I have to get it!

Also , without the dinos, the title of the print loses it's double-meaning.

"the Fall."
