Description
I took this photo with a digital camera and then made it black and white in photoshop. I accented the expression and eyes to give it more punch.

backs away from the screen very, very carefully
I love the quality of the job... but I don't like weapons... Too much violence today!
Men can be so ugly when they hide behind a gun...you captured this ugliness perfectly.
All I can say is INTENSE, very VERY INTENSE!!! Good job, but I agree w/ unzy, not much for guns at all.
always shoot with both eyes open. guns made this country free and it will stay that way
Thanks everyone, but I hate guns, too. I just did it for effect. I appreciate your comments.
Kinda gives you that uncomfortable feeling, looking down the barrel of a gun like that, but that's what art is about...
I agree with all the above, You have stir everyone. some say it's too violent some say it's what got us free. Thats what it is supposed todo. To get people to talk about what they feel about it... Good Job! That sounds like a good series to me. Lil' Hint CTRL + U in photoshop will bring-up the hue and gamma control... The Gun is a little too bright in the front. :O)
wow, nice pov, makes me nervous lol, id rather look at guns then the cheasy naked poser people :)
DON'T SHOOT!!
It definately has punch, and a message. However you missed two crucel elements - a cartridge in the chamber and the eye expression of a killer intent on pulling the trigger. (Still, at that range I would rather see a firing pin hole than a graveyard). The message I see is - don't point guns at anyone for any reason unless and until you are fully prepared to use it. From a photogs point of view it is a really good work. From a human point of view it completelly lacks credibility. As an alternate title may I suggest "never pick a pissin' match with strangers in parking lots" Best wishes - and please leave the gun holstered until you need it to protect life and freedom. Let us pray that none of your younger viewers attempt to emulate your photography. :-D BTW - he needs a different firearm, that one doesn't fit his hand and his poa is not instinctive.
What an excellent shot! ShadowWind said it right. :)
