I don't know what compelled you to use a bright yellow border (particularly in a "black" challenge), but it certainly doesn't seem to enhance my experience of the shot.

nice, but with so little angle on the shot, I think it might have been better to go straight on and light the entire thing evenly.

the perspective and background are nicely done. the subject doesn't really draw my interest much though.

There's no reason to submit a photo significantly smaller than the allowed size. IT really kills the detail.

interesting study of form, texture, and reflection in curves. I like the close crop.

Well.. my two immediate reactions are "there's no reason for a negative effect on this shot" and "that really produces a cool effect."
So in the end, I think I've decided to take the shot as a purely visual experience and say that the unique subjects you had and the way they result from the effect made it a good choice, and the result is a very cool shot.

Crisply executed. Not an especially facinating subject, but interesting enough to work.

Comment:
interesting idea with a lot of potential, but this photo is very blurry and consequently has very little detail in it, which effecively ruins the shot.

I'd imagine lighting must have been a challenge on this. Nicely done, although I do think I have the urge to be a little closer to the subject.

That's a very photogentic gun. Crisp work.
