Another difficult one to shoot but if Mr_Bond didnt have a photo submitted for the Bond Challenge then it just wouldnt be right!
Had a printout of the gun barrel and placed it in front of the camera on a music stand, both which were about 10m away from the model. To get a better fit within the barrel had to shoot with a wide angle. This meant that in post processing had to crop the image considerably. Also the image underwent dodge and burn, was sharpened, adjusted hue and saturation, adjusted curves and resized.

Nice work with the setup. Certainly mimics the James Bond look just fine. Something funny with the post-processing I think as there is a distinct shadow around the man. Most likely from feathering a selection and getting some bleedover from the prior background? Just a guess. Anyway, good luck with the challenge.
OK, how did you do this? I've been wanting to do this for a looong time but never could figure out how to get this gun barrel effect. Is this a double exposire? Is that a picture of you on the computer screen??? Let me know how you did it. Good work by the way
Can't wait to see how you did this! Very creative, well executed. But I can see why it was validated! I would request a validation myself. Great image.
(You better have some photographer's details on this one!! :)
Oh my... had I entered the challenge, this is exactly what I would have done :) I don't think the blur was all that necessary though (and I think your model may be missing a few digits), but great job!!
