looks good, but too small to see the detail

Gun is too hidden in the shadows/background for me and you can't really see any detail on it.

Interesting concept, but could be better photographed. Better lighting?

A little more light on the gun to show detail, and whatever the part is on the flag at the far right is a bit disconcerting to me - it keeps pulling my eye over there. You could remove that, or place it near the magazines.

cool picture and idea.

maybe a little more focus and detailing on the weapon. and that pocketknife pulls the attention off to the side.

I agree with the above, while I like the idea of the shot here there could have been a bit more lighting on the carbine to show more detail and set if off from the dark background.

Possibly pull the flag up so it is the whole background so you don't have the black in the upper part of the background? Great idea, now i have one more reason to go get an AR!

I agree about the lighting and the background. Also remove the knife as it doesn't go with the rest of the gear.

It is a great concept and I like the pic.

Nice picture of your AR, the knife (looks like a CRKT M-16) would look better opened and resting on the mags IMO. Nice hardware BTW!
