it would have been cool if you put a circle of chalk around the bullet cases. like what they do in real life (i think)

First off, this is my first entry ever into a photo contest.

Second, I used ISO 400 on purpose for the grainy look. The more I looked at it, the more I thought that the street lights were too brightly featured. It was not cropped, just resized for the challenged and very little contrast/brightness adjustments were made.

The camera was 1" off the ground and focus locked to the distance of the #1 bullet shell.

Thank you all for your comments and for a great first entry experience!

Too grainy. Night shots are hard to get.

I like the grainieness//noise. I think it adds to the whole atmosphere of this image. It reminds me a lot of a scene from CSI. This is a creative take on the challenge.

Critical comments : tthe crop is a little tight on the left and the bright lights draw your eye like a moth to a bug light.

Nice. The black and white along with the low angle is very effective.

Great composition, I liked the way you lowered your camera for the shot.
I think this was the best angle for the shot. DOF and lighting is good.
Possibly one of the top 3. 10
