HDR processing in photoshop. I shot at home on a tripod f/1.4 with 7 steps form -2 to +2 f stops.
What do you think about DOF, should it be more then 1.4?

Obviously this was not the right shot for the challenge, but putting that aside...
I am not sure what you are trying to do with this shot. If it is an HDR experiment, then for me it is a little cartoony, but I don't know why you would need HDR to shoot this subject, good lighting should be enough. HDR really excels where there are really bright and dark areas which both need to be brought out.
Your lens won't shoot at f1.4, so I suspect that you mean this was shot at f4. Is it enough? Depends on what you are trying to do! The muzzle is out of focus, but that could be intentional. I also think that it is cropped a little too tightly - give it some space!
Anyway, I look forward to seeing some more of your (intentional) work in the future...
Sorry, 5 was the lowest score I was giving out for this challenge but I don't see how this has anything to do with this challenge. Congrats on going for the brown ribbon if that is what you are after... 3
I think you misunderstood the topic of the challenge. it's an advertisement for the alcohol ABSOLUT, not just any advertisement. Having said that, putting that DNMC aside, this pic has it's own problem too, the gun doesn't look new to me, can't really be in an advertisement. Afterall, not a bad picture indeed.
