A very nice picture!
Composition:
Wow, a very nicely composed shot! But I would have to agree that the crop on the left is a tad bit tight. I enjoy the velvet background actually, enhances the feel of a nice gun becuase that's about the only place you see a nice gun like this. I particularly enjoy the sharpness, and the crisp detail in the gun. A photogenic gun indeed. I think there could have been a little bit more bullet though because there isn't enogun emphasis on it in my opinion, it's just kind of a quick blurb of the shot (if that makes any sense). I think that adding more bullets that were obvious to see would have made this shot a little stronger, that's my own personal feeling. As far as the gun "issue" is concerned, I have absolutely no problems with it. It is my personal opinion that it is kind of silly to vote a gun down low because its an..."Oh my gosh, a gun?!! To me, thats not taking any consideration into the actual photo, and in your case here, a very fine one at that, that shouldn't be overlooked because it's a gun and those are "bad." Apparently, some voter haven't ever been to Idaho. :)
Lighting:
By far the strongest part of this image. It brings out the details is the gun very nicely. It was used very effectively here, nice work.
Overall:
A very nice shot! Just take into consideration that some voters aren't too savvy on the gun thing, even though they really shouldn't, just something to keep in mind in the future. Just a few minor compositional errors that could be fixed, those are what make the difference between a really good photo and a WOW photo. Good luck to ya!
