 I wanted this picture to have a real Old West feel to it. To get that affect I used a sepia filter and equalized the image to make it grainy.

lol it almost looks like a rocket ship getting ready to take off (into the blackness near the top of your photo!) I can see it as hands on a clock as well!

I enjoy the subject but think it would fare better if it were located on a different background (currently the two colors are very similar and the knot in the wood is taking my eyes off the bullet composition) and if the picture were less grainy.

Did you add the grain? Or is it part of the photograph?

I did not care for the graininess, but liked the overall shot.
