Trail Blazing Revised

A revision to the original Trail Blazing piece. My agent suggested that the piece may be more successful with a less monochromatic background, and allowing the dinosaur to be a bit less hidden. So I scanned the previous version hi-res, and then added some tints to the trees, and more contrast and spots to the dinosaur. Not sure which version I prefer. On one hand, I like my original concept, but on the other hand, I think the added colors round out the piece a bit. What do you think?
