The carpet! Shadows are a bit distracting but great shot. Great effort on this.

I like the short DOF and good use of barrel as leading line. that white background is also very nice and clean. I like this a lot.

Quite a graphic image here, but true to the euphamism. Remind me not to rob your house! I really like the DOF and white background. I find the white spot on the side of his face a bit distracting though. I assume it's a glasses reflection? Overall solid shot, good comp.

If the author was going for an unsettling image, it makes it's point. I like the technique and I like the way the image was composed - I don't like the concept. Just being honest. I'm not anti-gun - quite the opposite in fact, but I am a combat veteran (Vietnam '67/'69) and "meeting your maker" has a meaning to me that isn't pleasant. But evaluation depends on more than just a dislike for the title - technically, it is a good image - I like the use of bokeh.

Nice job, good perception. What is the black on the assailants face? shadow or his collar? Unfortunately the leading lines of the barrel lead my eyes right to that black spot.
PS. you should really get a shorter barrel for home defense...

I like the depth of field, but I'm wondering if it would have been better to flip it horizontally so the in focus and closer shoe would be on the left. My eyes hit the in-focus shoe and kind of get stuck there.
