I like the concept...the photo I think could be changed a little. The bokeh (sp?) on the left eye is distracting and I cannot help but wonder if he was a bit more in focus if it would be a little more interesting. As a photographer I love the shallow depth of field but as joe schmoe I might just think wow wayyyy out of focus what is he trying to do here....

My take on it for what its worth. The hand appears to me to be much too bright compared to the background... so for me I seem to be drawn to the hand rather than the business of the gun. The "twinkle" on the left eye should be toned down a bit if you can :D And one other thing that "civilians" would not notice but the proper way to place the finger on the trigger would be that more of the tip of the finger would be on the trigger, never the first knuckle. With the finger on the trigger like that he would twist the gun as he squeezed the trigger missing the bad guy. It's a small detail but people that shoot would notice it, especially if they are looking at the poster waiting in line :wink. I like the concept, and can see where you are going with it.

One other thing to remember when you are playing with DOF three things control it.

1. Focal length of lens (longer FL shallower DOF)
2. Size of the aperture (Wider apertures shallower DOF)
3. Your distance from the subject (the closer you get the shallower it becomes)

Thanks for sharing :D

safety Tip: Treat All Guns As If They Are Loaded, And Never Put Your Finger On The Trigger Unless You Are Going To Shoot What You Aim At. Guns Are not Toys.

You are exactly right! Besides, that's not a Walther P99 pistol! :rofl

The Photo Is interesting. the Actor has no clue if he did he would not be deep in hte trigger. An actor not a real shooter. Hope you were not behind teh camera when this was shot.

I was behind the camera. Have been around weapons my whole life. This particular weapon had no clip, nor any round in the chamber (checked numerous times), and lastly, the firing pin has been removed. :)
