I thought the same thing. I think the fact that the dumpster has an open lid makes it appear that the tail/tentacle is coming out of the dumpster. Then you notice the sign up top that says Dino Expo. The dumpster looks to be sticking out past the corner of the building as well which is confusing slightly.

It's well done and I love the angle and the feeling of the image. it's just slightly confusing at first until you've had a minute to digest it. The stop sign is what made me continue looking to figure out what was really going on.

At the risk of being overly critical, I was a huge dinosaur fan when I was a kid, and still kinda am.

No dinos that I'm aware of have that kind of spiky "middle upper" tail. They're usually further at the back so the animal can swing the tail as a weapon. So I looked at it, didn't see "dino", and so thought "tentacle" instead.

I agree with that take. I think that is a plausible reason I didn't snap to it being a dino also.
