I was pending to an image relating to "sloth", when my wife arrived asking if what she had found as toys in the hands of some 6-7 years old playing in the social service center she works were real bullets. They were: they are the two 380 hollow points you can see in the picture.

Wow, interesting story. I gave this a 10 for the beautiful colours, lighting and textures. It was just visually stunning to me.

Well done, great statement!

sharp & crisp, like lack of colorization and use of colors. Plain & simple
10/17/2002 03:16:00 PM
This is great!

I give this a 7, because I like the lighting, but i would have liked a better cropping.

Good focus, interesting composition, I think I would have liked more dramatic lighting. Hope you don't plan on using these in the MD/DC/VA area. We have enough of that here just now. lhall

whoa!

details are nice and crisp, I like that. The message works for me to!

Personally I think this is a great shot. you capture the lighting really well. A lot of shots of bullets captuer a higher sheen... but I like this. it looks very natural. Good focus. I'd like to see a dof version of this to... maybe with a camera angle closer to the collection, with one of the larger shells as primary focus. I'm giving it a 9

HUH???

It's a pity the big nasty there on the right is cut off as it's the one I focus on first. Otherwise great shot.

would have been more hateful with just hollow-points but great photo.
10/14/2002 05:12:00 PM
That's pretty good.

I love the textures and the colors. Framing could have been better I think (closer?). But very good. 8

These bullets have sin written all of them. I wish they were near a gun or other weapon. Without another subject I get the "like I found it" feeling. Interesting and cool shot!
10/14/2002 10:16:00 AM
Interesting
10/14/2002 09:42:00 AM
Excellent concept. Too bad about the harsh flash lighting and the cropped bullet in the right.
10/14/2002 08:33:00 AM
This is awesome. It makes a great statement about our current conditions in the world. I actually have never seen a bullet up close and hope I never do.
10/14/2002 12:04:00 AM
Impact, stunning shot. Like it, hate it. Good work. Justine

nice strong metaphore with the title and the image. Shame you cut off a bit of the bullet at the bottom, and left so much space at the top. I would have liked to see it centred.
