First ideas for this challenge one would think "sports". Extreme action has so many interpretations, so when my husband suggested this idea I went for it ! He is a member of our local clay target shooting club and mentioned a poster that hangs there that is a similar style to this. He thought what a effective photo it was. I would be happy to receive any comments you wish to make.

Thankyou to all who commented, means a lot. You all saw how this fitted the challenge like I did, but there were so many others I'd say looking for movemement in the photo or were simply anti-gun. Extreme action has so many interpretations . But going with the obvious in a lot of the challenges maybe the way to go in future. Going outside the circle and still meeting the challenge still isn't enough.
nice shot... I was going to say that it does not really fit in "extreme action".. but I think I get it now.... taking extreme action.... very sharp (both the concept and the execution!)
