Shooting shot from today. Your thoughts?

C&C welcome.

Hum, not to sure on this, maybe it would have worked better with a puff of smoke from the end of the barrel ? or to have the front end of the barrel in focus and the lady out of focus? but thats my 2 cents worth.

DOF is too narrow for me. The part thats sharp is also dark. Hard to see much detail in the face. Since thats what In focus, Im assuming thats what you want us to see, but its hard since its not nearly as bright as everything else.

A puff of smoke from the barrel would be cool, although I didn't bring my radio triggers and tri-pod, and I'm not about to stand in front of a live rifle. Thanks for your input.

I had that same feeling to about the darkness of the face. Do you think a reflector would have helped? I don't have one but might get one soon. Thanks.

I don't like it simply because I don't like guns!

You should have stood directly infront of the gun got the bullet leaving the barrel and then ducked would have made a crazy shot maybe next time

Uh, thanks for your input? Wouldn't it have been easier to not post anything?

Give that a try sometime and let me know how it works out for ya. I'm to big of a chicken.

Well, okay then.

Here's my C&C:

- Her left ellbow should rest on her body
- Her left hand is gripping the rifle incorrectly and should support it better.
- Her trigger finger is gripping the grip too tightly and should rest loosely on the trigger
- Both eyes open doesn't work unless you have a seriously dominating eye. Closing one eye or better yet goggles with an eye shield over one eye would be better.
- She should stand straighter....

Oh, you meant the photo?
Pretty nice - I like it. More DoF would be nice like already said.

It was a joke - lighten up.

A smiley would have helped. Or less strict gun laws in the UK, so we wouldn't think everyone over there hated guns.

Remember 1776 - Wasn't it a great movie.

Yes, a smiley would have helped but you're right in thinking that everyone (or almost everyone) over here hates guns. We haven't got your gun culture.

And we think that the strict gun laws are a good thing
