If the author was going for an unsettling image, it makes it's point. I like the technique and I like the way the image was composed - I don't like the concept. Just being honest. I'm not anti-gun - quite the opposite in fact, but I am a combat veteran (Vietnam '67/'69) and "meeting your maker" has a meaning to me that isn't pleasant. But evaluation depends on more than just a dislike for the title - technically, it is a good image - I like the use of bokeh.
Thanks for the comments. I was going for unsettling because i see those as the strongest euphemisms. I can understand how the concept would not work for many.
Quite a graphic image here, but true to the euphamism. Remind me not to rob your house! I really like the DOF and white background. I find the white spot on the side of his face a bit distracting though. I assume it's a glasses reflection? Overall solid shot, good comp.
Yeah, i had glasses on at the time. That is a glass reflection. Ill have to watch for that more.
Nice job, good perception. What is the black on the assailants face? shadow or his collar? Unfortunately the leading lines of the barrel lead my eyes right to that black spot.
PS. you should really get a shorter barrel for home defense...
Yeah, the black is the coat collar. Its mostly used for trapshooting
