I\'m really not expecting much by way of scores for this photo, but I hope that some people get a laugh out of my choice of title, or that people will get a little shock out of the photo itself. My friend and I actually had a lot of fun taking the photos, AND... he didnt shoot me, so a definite bonus for the photoshoot :)

I guess you shot first (and last). I love the DOF, soo good. It really draws your aention to the barrel tip. Maybe a different background would make it better.
Yep, that's a circle all right. You'll get voted down for the gun, but I think the shot is refreshing, original, and well done. I might have tried to get a little more contrast onto the muzzle of the gun, so it stands out more, but that's a minor thing.
very much in two minds about this. the tongue-in-cheek nature of the title does not really fit with the manner in which the shot is presented; the whole getting shot for sleeping with a sister thing is more of a stereotypical humourous thing, and as a result a photo more mockingly cartoony and decidedly less menacing in nature might be better fitting.
technically i like the use of the blur to bring the end of the gun into sharp focus, thereby maximising the fitting the challenge potential. it does suffer from an overwhelming sense of grey though - levels, brightness and contrast adjustments might help. and pure oddness of the background (mounted basketballs with horns?) is a detracting element...
My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 1/3, challenge 1/1, post processing results 0.5/2, ooooh factor 1/3, originality 0.5/1 = 4
