Nice and simple but not ribbon worthy. I initially wanted to do the classic "Bond through the barrel of a cannon" with the blood etc, but it i didn't have the necessary equipment to take that shot. THis is a last minute submission.

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice focus and spot on white balance. Overall, nice exposure, and the settings you selected yielded fine results.
Lighting: The lighting here is lacking a little. It looks like too much spot light, whereas a diffused source would have given much more appealing results.
Composition/Content: I do like the composition here, but I would recommend cropping off some of the negative space at the top and bottom of the frame. While the eye moves from the face, down the shirt, and over to the hand and gun, it stops and gets fixed on the top and bottom negative space.
My Opinion: Nice job meeting the challenge, and I think that this one scored appropriately. I like this capture, but the voters were apparently looking for something a little different. I think by removing the some of the negative space and diffusing that lighting a bit, this one would have scored a bit higher.
as much as i hate to say it (because i'm getting comments like this...), it's a little too dark IMO, definitely like the idea, I think if it was just a little brighter so you could see more detail of the gun it would draw your attention a bit more...
