Fear not the gun but he who holds it.

What I find scary is that anyone should have a 'favourite' hand gun. Bear in mind, though, that Im in the UK so I've rarely even seen a gun - let alone had time to develop any kind of preference.

Thanks very much for your votes and comments. I really appreciate it.

I’m the other gun photo this week. I really like your shot; I think that you cropped it perfectly. That’s a BIG hole in the end of that muzzle. Very scary!

I like the idea but I would like to see a darker background. Subject wearing a dark shirt and perhaps gloves. Maybe slightly red lighting.Get rid of the glasses. A vertical format may have worked better so you could include the entire gun and hand in the shot to increase the illusion that the gun is really coming out of the picture at the viewer.

You should add a laser pointer, it you be a lot sweeter.

well that's something I don't get pointed at me every day. Yes, i would be scared. Yikes.

meets the challenge well, technically good.

Excellent photograph that conveys the theme very well.

This is an excellent shot... the depth of field is perfect. I like being able to see the rifling in the barrel.. I know i'm too close :) good shot! = 9 - jmsetzler

intense image. i think i would have liked the person behind the gun to be somehow more anonymous and menacing. this seems too much like a regular feller. otherwise few complaints. mag 99

Clear, effective, movie-like.

Great use of depth of field. The out of focus background really brings attention to the barrel of the gun, which I think is key in this photo. Really good.
Post actions
Should have shown the person it was pointed at as this person is not showing fear.
Post actions
that kinda unnerves me, frankly. good focus and use of blur to create depth. karmat

think this is a sad thing, think you have a thing for the threat not the fear from the comment

This is a scary picture! The focus is fantastic - I keep trying to study the rest of the picture but can't help but to look down the barrell of the gun. I love it! 10

I am definitely fearful of having a gun pointed at me! Nice clean shot (no pun intended ; )

Nicely done, but I prefer the black & white version I saw entered.
Post actions
would be nice if the perspecive was strong...... the fear element is 2 D here and so not frightening
Post actions
Best of them all. Not much competition this time unfortunately. But this photo looks real, makes you fell the fear. I like the anonimity of the shooter and the power of his hand. Very good composition. Powerful.
Post actions
ummmmm ok I'm scared ! This is FEAR !
Post actions
I feel like: What did I do wrong against you?!?! Very scary.

Been there, didn't like that. (police have terrible sense of humor) Excellent shot. Got me. 9 Swash

Good detail. Good composition. The skin tones and black of the gun are good contrasts.

ok - i most certainly felt fear while looking at this shot ... hmmm no pun intended ... 7

This is actually pretty powerful. The depth of field is good, and the symmetry works well, I think. I wouldn't expect too many people to want to buy prints of this or anything, but I think it illustrates the challenge well.
Post actions
yikes. not very often that id get to see THAT. Cool shot.
