Like the idea of the gun also the perspective of it but I think the border is kind of distracting to the shot and also to the message I think you're trying to convey. I would've like it better without it.
Great idea and composition, lighting works well here. :-) I also like the steely gun on the soft texture. I would love the photo, but... but... I hate your border. :-((( It's vivid colours clash the seriousity of your photo, it's too funny for your subject chosen. Just my opinion.
speaking of boundaries, that border is a little harsh. wanted to resist saying it, as i'm sure 99% of your other comments will mention that (and likely that alone), but i couldn't. other than that, i like the capture of the barrel and the short DOF. opening the barrel also adds more background interest and i think makes it a stronger photo than if you had left it closed.
Pointing a unloaded gun at me isn't going to convince me to give a higher score. Too much of the picture is out of focus and the rainbow border is very distracting.
This border doesn't follow the mood of the photo at all. If your shooting for effect by contrast, it's lost. DOF is awesome in this shot! Well done there. B&W might've given it more impact, as that bit of red is distracting, and B&W tends to direct more attention to shape and form. A nice composition, but why is the bullet loading thingy (very technical eh?) open like that? Perhaps I'm overlooking something here, but the shot may have a more direct meaning if it were not open. Very nice nonetheless 7 from me.
I would love to hear your logic behind this border and how it enhances the image. I believe it distracts from the image. It requires me to look at the border and wonder why rather than look at the image itself.
