I was wondering how many people would have a gun-barrel handy to try this. I really do like the idea, but this rendition doesn't have the effect I was imagining. I guess I'd like to be scared by it. :) Maybe move the barrel dead center in the frame, and it could use a lot more sharpness across the whole tip of the gun. But these are nitpicks, great shot!
Blunt, simple, and suitable to a centred composition. The light is almost ideal, although badly let doen by the indistinct end of the barrell - perhaps a little extra light there, from a reflector or even another light source would help. The extremely shallow depth of field helps in some ways, but it is so extreme as to miss the end-sight, and yet there isn't enough detail in the very end of the barrell to hold attention for me. 5
I like the simplicity and set-up (I almost submitted this type myself). I'd like to see the background lightened & brightened with a sharper focus in view. The blur directly above is a bit distracting. The subject itself isn't holding my interest, but that is perhaps my "taste".
