Wow, are they shellacked? I like the shine and good focus on the text, but possibly a more contrasting backdrop or avoiding monochromatic colorizing would improve this.

Good personification and contrast. Nice gritty feel.

Wish to see the whole gun, perhaps barrel could be against lighter background to improve contrast. Great idea, love the slugs and the etched plating.

Ooh, I have one like that too. Good idea! Good composition. I like your concentric circles and scratched silver bowls, chromey monochromatics. Very pleasing as is, but I bet this will be fun for you to enhance further once free of the basic editing rules.

Oh boy, I so almost submitted a broken gravestone. I like yours better. Nice catch and good composition and degree of contrast and sat.

I applaud your inclination to go natural. I wish photos didn't have to be radioactive to get a decent score on this site. The yellow in your alts seems like a little too much (to me), however, the submitted photo does appear to need some oomph. Not enough going on. If a different composition or a better defined/esthetically-pleasing tree were not available, I'd probably do as you did and mess with the sky color/texture, although not quite as extremely. Better luck next time ;-)

I couldn't have helped but to give you a high score had I voted on this, but composition wise, I think I like your outtake better than your entry (left comment on that).
