The costume is fantastic. The model's expression is priceless. I like the brick wall The vat is an interesting touch, but it seems a little non-martial and it interferes with the rifle. And as much as I love to photograph dead wood, I think the stick is better left out . I think the shot might be better with a little more bokeh.
