 I thought this would be an interesting take on the perspective challenge, but I didn't know if I would be able to pull off the photo. I went outside at night, set the timer on the camera, put it in front of me on a stool, then leaned over it. The only lighting I had was a couple of outdoor flood lights on the side of our house.
Editing: Rotate, Crop, Brightness/Contrast, NeatImage (applied over entire image)

Terrible Idea. I don't like the gun being in this contest at all.

I guess there's a gun in there, but I can't really make it out. Can't say that I care much for the tilted perspective.

Interesting perspective. The background seems to blend in with the gun though so it seems to shift the focus off that and onto the face.

Kind of sobering to have a gun pointed in my face. I think this picture could use some lighting adjustments...mostly contrast.
