I really like this photo. I think a wider angle and capturing more of the weapon would have been better. It took me a few seconds of looking at it to figure out what it was. But I still like it and it fits the challenge. 9

This one took a second, but wow--has quite an impact. Nicely done, and certainly one of the more interesting responses to the challenge.

that's awesome - you must've shot yourself in the chest and thrown the gun - a head shot would not have allowed your muscles to throw the gun that far or better yet at all. but who cares - I'm just happy I'm not looking at a piggy banks ;) nice work. 8.

Technical: Fits the challenge, exposure is good; composition- I like the low angle; focus- I'd like a little more depth of field- perhaps the guy could be just a tad sharper? Lighting is good, lends itself to the shot.

Personal: I think it's a good idea and it's interesting to look at. The line from the gun to the hand leads well.

My vote: 8.

this is great, except the gun is too far away from the body to be a suicide. this might actually be a set up to look like a suicide and could actually be a murder! i have been watching csi too much.. 10
