Gorgeous composition! The fingerprints on the top rifle are a little distracting to me, sorry to be picky.

...is not a trend.

I like the strong symmetry in this photo. I think the tiny reflections I'm seeing on the left side are distracting though. They either need to be faded out completely or a little brighter so I can see what they are. Otherwise, I like that you can see the wood grain in contrast to the metal.

Technically and artistically a fine photograph; however, I can't see the link to the challenge topic.

Nice idea! The horizontal placement of the guns and the vertical shot seem to fight each other?

Another great before and after pic..cool!

cool shot, i am not sure how its trendy to have guns, but i do like this, a bit too much reflection on the middle gun

An OK picture. The lighting is a bit of a problem. The rifles aren't aligned - the top one tilts towards you, the middle wone is sort of centered and the bottome one tilts back. This gives it a bit of a messy, unballanced feel, and causes the inconsistent lighting between the three. B&W works well, and composition is good. You had some resizing jaggies - try resizing in steps (10% at a time) - it usulally helps. "The Right To Bear Arms" seems more a principle, or maybe an institiution, than a trend. If there were a trend, it would be towards gun control - that's where the left has tried to move the country for the last several decades. The right to bear arms is established law.

I like the repetiveness here. Tones are good, but the blown out middle rifle really kills the shot, so to speak. Also, the edges are really jagged, which tells me the image is oversharpened. I also hope that the right to bear arms is just a trend. But I'll keep my views on the subject out of the voting.

I can sort of see the reasoning behind the very bright reflection on the middle gun: but I don't think it works - possibly because it's too uniform on that area. Looks like you had to tilt the bottom gun a little to avoid more of it too. Overall image doesn't work for me either - maybe they're too far apart? Maybe a horizontal framing would have been more effective? Not sure.

I prefer to arm bears!, Sorry couldn't resist. I like this moody shot. The middle rifle has picked up too much light and stands out of the image too far

Hopefully a continued right, not even considered a trend. The flash may have made the center rifle a bit bright and somewhat distracting.

The light reflecting off the center is blinding me! :) nice collection.

Interesting. Overall good. Personaly i like to see a little more sharpness, but that just may be the web. Good job.
