This was fun to setup, I just don't know if voters will think this is creative enough. I worried about the cloudy sky until some breaks appeared. Obviously, the circle cloud was pure luck, but it certainly works! Some modest contrast increase, a little blue saturation, and a small amount of sharpening.

I tried to focus on the lenscap, yet keep the entire pistol in focus and get the right exposure. Not easy when the shutter release is on the right of the camera and I'm holding the pistol to show the left side.

For those who want to know, it's a Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP.

good shot...
05/23/2006 07:22:42 AM
yes i do hate when that happens, but this is a very creative picture idea, one i wouldn't have thought of
05/23/2006 12:53:30 AM
Funny shot...way to think
05/21/2006 11:45:57 PM
Nice idea nad good subject placement. Lighting is a little dark on the primary (the gun) although I think it's just right for the lens cap.
05/21/2006 11:13:24 PM
clever and funny...nice work...hope that's not a real gun...
05/21/2006 09:27:24 PM

Awesome! Excellent perspective.

Ha ha! you get a 10 for originality and making me laugh.
05/21/2006 01:00:33 AM
Good double entendre.
05/21/2006 12:45:37 AM
Well done.
05/20/2006 05:10:44 PM
Great concept.
05/19/2006 10:25:21 PM
Very funny! What's even more intruiging is I wonder if people would understand the picture without the title?

A fairly simple composition, but I liked it nonetheless.

Love the clarity throughout the frame. Nicely done. Be careful where you point that thing!
05/19/2006 11:49:27 AM
Love the creativity. Love the shot, and idea. If it were up to me this would be a ribbon winner for sure.
I give it a 9

Good play on words. Gotta admit I'm a bit amazed at how many guns show up in challenge pictures.
05/17/2006 06:02:54 PM
clever!
05/17/2006 02:33:45 PM
lol, is that the new "9mm" L series
05/17/2006 12:25:54 PM
Great positioning against the clouds.
05/17/2006 03:01:07 AM
Very nice shot. Great Idea. By far this is my favorite
05/17/2006 02:40:04 AM
nice play on words and good focus on the gun, it could probably help your photo if there were more DOF, especially on sky, but that's a tough shot to meter, also cloud highlights on right a little blown out, but nice job, keep up the good work
05/17/2006 12:52:29 AM
Having done this lately, I can relate to this title, and clever work I must say.
05/17/2006 12:42:06 AM
jejeje™
05/17/2006 12:23:34 AM
Haha: I like the shot, as well as the concept, a lot. Good work.
