| Good idea for a photo and the lightning(?) on the shirt adds to the photo, and helps lead the eye to the gun. I find the gun quite hard to see though against the black background. good shot :). |

| Perhaps a bit too dark. The pistol is barely discernable from the BG. Yes, it might be my monitor, but all of the colors look spot on. |

| Point made. Shows the motion nicely. Good lighting. |

I can already smell the ones... ;-)
While I do not condemn the use of weapons or violence in pictures as a matter of principle (and even really like some of the entries of that kind, 606150 or 582516, for example), I feel that displaying a gun the way you did is not really a suitable idea for this challenge. I can think of various ideas to use a gun in a clever way for this challenge (something like this 614672 in time lapse. Or a duell scene. Or ...), but this is not one of them. It's just boring. You could have taken the same picture with any other object and it would be equally boring. It pales in comparison to all the sports shots in this challenge. So: 3. |

| Cool shot, I wish we had a little more focus on the lighting on the shirt, it is kind of distracting. Good work. |

| Shouldn't judge on content, but it sort of makes its point... |

karmabreeze: this is definitely natural motion. It is the triggering of a massive karmic wheel.
scalvert: the finger is relaxed on the trigger. Therefore the motion is not due to Newtonian's Law of Equal and Opposite Motion, but rather a simple flexing of the wrist muscle. It is not natural motion.
ursula: This is a staged shot with motion planned by the photographer. Therefore it is not natural.
sher: But people are natural. Thought is natural. If this person thought to jerk his wrist upward, then that is as natural as a leaf falling.
scalvert: don't be ridiculous. It's obvious that premeditated acts of will are not natural.
muckpond: he's taking somebody out. That's totally natural!
scalvert: but it's staged.
muckpond: all your shots are staged.
scalvert: yes but never in a challenge that demanded natural motion.
muckpond: what do you mean? your shot in THIS CHALLENGE is staged.
scalvert: yes, but it is a staged occurence of natural motion. I have certifications from three independent physicists. |

| Almost went for the gun shot myself. Have to say I'm glad I didn't. |

| I think my favorite thing is the lightning bolt jitters on your shirt, I am glad you left it in. You seem to have lost some detail in the gun. |

This one doesn't work for me... Firearms can always make interesting subjects, but the background and the handgun aren't set far enough apart. I would have used a chromed pistol, or I would have gone with a white background.
The white trim in the sleeve is also a distraction for me... It gives off a neat lightning bolt effect, but that doesn't aide the image at all. |

| You lost some detial in the gun during the shifting. Ohterwise this would have been ga great capture. |

| Wow, I wish I could see the bullets actually coming out of the gun. That would be really cool. Nice job! |

| The most striking element here is the little triangle of hand which is brightest. This attracts the eye all the time. Its only after a while do you notice the gun. Could do with reworking using a different lighting setup and toning down the hand in PP. |

| Need a little more light on the gun to separate it from the background. |
