Take away the title and what do you get? Lots of things, but "Hope" doesn't seem like one of them - especially to this non-archer. Like: "Wow, look at that bow; complicated, isn't it!", or, "Wonder if he's shooting at live targets or circles on a bale of hay", or "Nice angle for a photograph", or "Look at the how the shadows play off the shirt". None of them involved "Hope".

OK I'm probably a little biased here but nice shot. I hope you got the X ring with that arrow. Good perspective with the camera angled upwards. I have taken many similar photographs and I have found that perspective looks best. I dont know how many others can appreciate what would be going through your mind at that moment but I would of been hoping for the perfect shot too, with the bow or photographically. Good luck with this one

nice bow. I hope its just target practice. Not that hunting's wrong, I'd just hate for any living thing to get sliced with that. Good composition.
