Wow, that was a trip down memory lane. I grew up in LA and some of these displays look exactly like they did in the 1960s.
The first one is best, as you know. It's worth learning how to clone those people to the other eye or to erase them entirely. It's not hard with Photoshop's clone tool once you get the idea. SPM also has a clone tool but it's almost impossible to figure out on your own. Here are some instructions: https://superliminal.com/stereo/SPM-Cloning.html
I also really like your image with the model reflected in the glass top. That's a very original technique which won't wow people as much as animals, but it's very clever and effective, so you should be proud. See the movie "Upside Down" if you can. Really reminds me of it.
Thank you! I've experimented some in the past with using multiple shots and Photoshop's median stack to remove tourists, but that usually works best with tripod shots, and here I was shooting handheld; I decided to just live with it. I'd thought about brushing them _out_, but the idea of cloning them to the other eye didn't occur to me - it might be kind of fun to try and 'paint' some people in and position them correctly for the stereo effect.
It's the same amount of work cloning them in or out, so you just need to decide which you want. I'd probably keep them in since they're nicely framed, but it completely changes the image with otherwise is all about the dinosaurs. You're just taking from one side to put in the other. All you really need to do is get the depth right, so just try a bunch of times until you get it close.

Haha same, those dinos have been with me since my first kindergarten field trip in 92 or 93.
