I suppose I'm happy where this image scored out... I realized from the start that it would be controversial because it involves a GUN. I'd wanted to do an image with light on a gun's rifling for the "James Bond" challenge... but didn't get around to it (LOL).
But it turns out my title seems to have stirred the most controversy. It's NOT pro-suicide, nor does it make light of it. Rather, it's a fairly common quote that I supposed many would have heard (e.g., look at //www.justalyce.com/FAQ.html ).
The bottom line idea behind this image: Procrastination can be deadly to both one's personal life and career.

The handgun here is a Glock 22 (.40 S&W caliber). I put a small light in the chamber to illuminate the inside of the barrel.
From what information I can gather, this is indeed polygonal rifling (look at //www.firearmsid.com/A_bulletIDrifling.htm ). You can actually see that there is a very gradual transition between the lands and grooves in the barrel.
Ok, I will give you benefit of the doubt here, because it is a good centered shot, clarity and sharpness are there. But for those of us that have lost some to suicide its really a hurtful and painful shot. To think that Suicide was put off last year is quite disturbing. It IS a powerful image I will give you that, but at the same time I guess I don't understand how it was brought into the procrastination challenge. I surely hope there is nothing TOO deep about this shot to you, as in its something you've contemplated. Maybe I looked to deep into this shot, but like I said I recently lost someone to suicide so you can see where I am coming from. Good luck in the challenge. 7.
I guess you mean that we committ gradual suicide each day until we finally reach the end?? Or if you mean you literally put off suicide in 2006 then ???? Either way, you've captured the lighting nicely although a stark white BG would have been an improvment IMHO.
