B&W color tones are fabulous and dynamic on this compostion. The splash of red in the damask design on the jacket adds a bit of color and cements the idea that being a pirate is 'bloody' & violent business especially when the red is paired next to the period piece gun. Details and focus are great but I wish the barrel of the gun was in sharper focus for it is a touch soft. The main object that carries the idea of 'Pirate' is that period gun laying on worn wood planks, but the hat is present too - just not as much. I think the composition would have been even stronger had you pulled back from such a tight crop and included more of the captain's hat in the composition. Still, it is a great photo in the exceptional category that uses elements of pirate life to strongly convey the theme.
