I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I really like the composition here, the curve of the belt offers great balance to the image. I like the texture of the metal too - this is well matched by your monochrome processing.

Critical stuff: given the limited interest that resides in the periphery of the image, a vignette may have helped to keep the eye on target.

Overall: An interesting image, not least because you have managed to create an artistic near-abstract from a subject of such menace.

the sweep of the lines keeps our interest - i can't wait to read where this was shot and on what these are attached to

Glad you explained what this was in the title, I had a hard time figuring it out. Are these 50 cal bullets? This is a pretty cool viewpoint, and the B&W shows all the great details in the casings.

Great point of view. I think the title was warranted, since you've captured them in a unique and interesting way. Nice BW conversion, really like the strong contrast and the deep shadows.
