Nice ....but, lacking something I can't quite pin point. Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to comment more constructively. =6 syamjonimi

Comment by Maverick:
Is that really a Civil War gun? I've shot my uncle's a few times, it doesn't look that advanced ; )
Nice photo though, the sepia tone fits well.

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Is the photo "real" or one of those county fair deals? (doesn't matter, just curious, like are you in the photo?) Excellent capture of the gun, it must be in really great shape, it doesn't look very old (except for maybe the styling). Was the placement over the "ladies" due to necessity (space) or is there hidden meaning in it? It's just that the dresses seem to fit better than the uniforms. 8 Swash

Comment by Kavey:
I like this but find the frame of the photo distracting. I'd have liked it better with the photo out of the frame and the gun on that, with nothing else in the shot. The frame just seems to jar a little wth the photo and gun.

this is a neat shot, but the exposure seems to be a little strong... - jmsetzler

Heck you Americans have some scary family heirlooms! Nice arrangement though and excellent lighting.

Comment by mjcecil:
A good idea. I can't figure how I would really make it work subject-wise, either, though. Good technical photo.

Comment by sohr:
Nice effort! I love the layout and the composition.

The sepia effect seems a bit too strong, and everything (even the antique gun) looks way too smooth to give the impression of being old.
