 My antique Model 94 Winchester rifle laid on my fathers well used chaps. Asomewhat overcast day enabled me to shoot this with no additional light. I chose a rather small aperature of f:22 and a 1 second exposure frrom the tripod. I was after good depth and a picture saturated with color. Enjoy

Nice creative idea. Very good composition. The leaves are a very nice touch. I think I'd like to see just a little bit more light on the rifle, bringing out some detail.

Great idea with the gun! I feel that the leaves are a little distracting, and the upper right corner is a little hot. Other than that, great job.

I really like this picture. The oak leaves are a great touch. Makes you wish for a day in the big wood. I hope you tell the tale of where this fine old beauty came to you.

Nice lighting and color. I kind of wish I could see more of the rifle because it is so interesting looking.

nice composition (use of leaves adds an interesting touch) --- only suggestion I have is that I think it could use a touch more light

Image seems too contrasty and "down" in tone in the subject areas. Cropping on bottom is unfortunate, and the framing (angle of rifle, primarily, is indifferent. Subject matter is appealing.
