hilarious for me to see this. must be a common universal theme for boys: find long stick - must turn it into a gun. My boys are into a star wars meets military guy kick. Did you know a light saber was also a gun? lol great photo.

Great characters. I like how they aren't all looking at the camera

Seems very much like a snap shot, the lighting is really erratic and doesn't add to the image.

Great image - a Mini Militia. Very crisp, but I think this could have done with a little less foreground and a tighter capture on the boys with bokeh. Still a nice capture.
