Well the signature is really eye catching.

The white scratch (or smudge) on the top edge of the barrel (the left side as you face it) is a bit distracting. Otherwise, I like the bokeh and the lighting.

What's the purpose or intended use of the photo? It could be wonderfully fit for a specific intended purpose ... but without knowing it, it's hard to like it on its own and with out context.

So the technical aspects of the photo have no merit without an intended use?
How about FOR gun control...For the NRA. Would make a good stock shot for either and many other things.
As said before...good bokeh, focus, and lighting. A few minor little blemishes to clean up, but good.

You could name it HARMLESS, paperweight, or doorstop. that could get ya a bunch of nice reactions. :)

It's actually only 17,999 students. That last one dropped out of school earlier in the day. *grin*

thanks for the comments. it appears the better the title the better the remarks. I'm just not that good at witty titles.

Yes, exactly right. (just felt like beating a dead horse today)

some things that come to my mind:

- use USM to get the sharpness more out of it
- is this a real gun? looks plastic to me
- bump up the contrast a bit
- you should get rid of the signature. it distracts very, because it's the only color in the photo, and red. red is the color our eyes go to immediately
- DoF looks nice
- rest is said ;)

oh and about the title. you said:

"it appears the better the title the better the remarks."

i don't think that's true :)

To be fair the grip frame on the sigma is plastic (Polymer).
