"I'm not sure why this shot finished so low! I don't see a major focus issue and the exposure fits the scene. I blame it on people not seeing 2 yet. Happy shooting!"

Answer as to why this scored low: Hippies. I mean, c'mon - eight 1's??? I've seen alot of ant-gun material around here.

Greetings from the Critique Club
Hi Jeff!

Composition
Amazing amount of weaponry! I thought this was just for movie layouts - how did you accumulate such a stock to shoot (*photographically that is*)

Color
None. Nice whiting out the background.

Lighting
The lighting is a bit strong, to white it all out - but it's not a problem.

Subject matter
Excellent choice, having seen the second.

Overall
I'm not sure why this shot finished so low! I don't see a major focus issue and the exposure fits the scene. I blame it on people not seeing 2 yet. Happy shooting!

Good shot! Sorry, didn't vote or comment this challenge. This WAS one of my most likely to be yours! Mostly good stuff. Why the small aperture? (Still most seems in focus....) The middle guns's triggers seem to be a bit jaggy, but I've got no idea how one would fix that!

I'm not a fan of guns but in the context of the challenge and what is represents, this works. The choice of b&w has more of an impact and it is in keeping with the 'loading room'. The few background shadows are a little distracting, but not overly so. The tight crop with the guns continuing out of the frame helps give the illusion that there are many many more of them.

A better angle on the clips would give this image more interest. Also, it seams a little overexposed and out of focus.
