This was fun to setup, I just don't know if voters will think this is creative enough. I worried about the cloudy sky until some breaks appeared. Obviously, the circle cloud was pure luck, but it certainly works! Some modest contrast increase, a little blue saturation, and a small amount of sharpening.
I tried to focus on the lenscap, yet keep the entire pistol in focus and get the right exposure. Not easy when the shutter release is on the right of the camera and I'm holding the pistol to show the left side.
For those who want to know, it's a Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP.

nice play on words and good focus on the gun, it could probably help your photo if there were more DOF, especially on sky, but that's a tough shot to meter, also cloud highlights on right a little blown out, but nice job, keep up the good work
