Thanks very much to my awesome husband for posing!
Should not have included the paint can and hammer. I was trying to portray the elements of his work and other laborers that have been frustrating to deal with for the past year and a half. Of all my challenge entries this is THE one that I wish I could re-shoot - I'd definitely remove the paint and hammer!
Thanks everyone for the votes and comments - all very helpful!

I like the idea and the mood that this image projects, but I am not putting the various elements together very well. I understand the rifle and the feeling of dejection, but I am missing the point of the paint and hammer. Nice image and good mood for the challenge. I can't wait to read your photographer's comments for the rest of the story.
