I like you take on the circle subject. I also had the idea of using a framing square [thumb]//zo-d.com/stuff/images/swanson-speed-square-how-to-use.jpg[/thumb] (not actually square shaped) for the square contest.

A very nice idea with good use of depth of field and contrast between the background and the metallic sheen of the bullets.

Kewl picture but i would prefer just the bullet tops and no bullet lying on top. It takes away from the circular effect.
