License to Kill

Comment:
Title ruins the shot. It's ot a license to kill, a police officer can not just walk around and shoot & kill people just because he has a badge. You want the title license to kill perhaps you should have posted a photo of a hunting license, that's a license to kill. The photo represents authority, the title doesn't -1 for the title, 2 for the quality of the shot, badge is slightly out of focus, the shotgun shell should have been placed in the back not in the forefront, especially since you focused on the the badge, the blurry shotgun shell is distracting, takes all of the attention -1 + 2 = 1

Looks more of a subject of fear or intimidation, not authority

This would better represent love, compassion, safety...Authority just doesn't come to mind when looking at this. Sepia tone is to over the top
