No doubt where the focus is here. Nice attention-getter.

Definitely an emotional shot, with good focus at the end of the gun.

I like the use of DOF to obscure the face.

Wow, all my gun trainig makes this an impossible "shot" for me! I've never seen my gun from that angle, don't want to. Nice dof. I pick murder over suicide in this challenge!

Good thing there are no bullets in the revolver, but having bullets visible would have increased the emotion. Good composition. When you see that your focus is on the gun barrel pointing at you.

Has a nicely interactive effect on the viewer

Scary indeed, except it's not loaded! Which is a good thing when taking a picture of it!

It may not be a welcome sight, however it does not give me the feelings of extreme emotions. Maybe I have just been blunted over the years, but to me, its a gun, pull the trigger if you gonna use it or get it out of my face. No real emotion just truth. I think an extreme emotion would be blowing someones face off.. now thats extreme.

Great use of DOF here. Very frightening.

very nice example of the subject, a little more focus would have been nice, but this does it, 9.

I feel like this evokes emotion but does not show emotion. Never the less... an interesting shot. 6

very unconventional and effective image in this challenge - i just hope that others realize that the viewer is the faceless subject of the image 9
