There is quite a lot of red pixels in the picture, which detracts a lot from the quality of it.b

I'm trying to figure out what the little red dots are. the focus is much more on the person instead of the tool

your camera either has a lot of hot pixels...or you were going for that effect? That aside, it's a good idea. I might have like to see a different angle on this to add more "excitement". Maybe shooting more down the barrel and cutting out some of the body. Tilting the pic a degree or two to straighten it out...
