This is indeed cleverly done Willie, and I especially like the close and personal approach, and that the photo is presented in B&W. Would not mind to have a T-shirt like this myself. LOL

The focus is spot on and sharp showing clear and well defined details, and the smoke looks great. The exposure is perfect.

The cropping is working so well, and it is a fine balance in the composition. I think this is a great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A very interesting point of view to take this image from and the cigarette smoke works well. Like the composition and clarity of the subject. Black and white works well.

This is a very clever photo. The smoke from the cigarette worked perfectly to add the illusion of the gun being fired. Great details in the barrel of the gun. This image definitely makes a bold statement. This is a great entry in the Unexpected Angles contest. Best of luck!

This is a clever photo of a barrel with smoke emitting from it. Your friend must have an interesting collection of tees. It has great movement and intrigue.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a good view of those fired gun barrels. Your smoke trick worked very well. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

An excellent photo Willie and such a great idea for this competition.
I love your use of cigarette smoke, it looks very authentic. The image is well focused and the use of black and white works very well. Best wishes for the contest.

What a great photo, it really looks like it has been fired. I like how well focussed the barrell us and how the smoke is drifting off to the left, well done.

Hi Willie, Love your thought process in creating this! The smoke is a very effective way to make this gun appear as if it were fired. Look like there was a nice breeze there too as the smoke is drifting to the left. Focus and lighting is great! Very cool for an "unexpected angle shot too! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Ok Willie, let's not get carried away. Its a great shot, the photo I mean. Y'all got my attention right quick with this creative, high initial impact look down a 12 Ga. muzzle.

Monochrome is the only way to go with this poignant presentation.

The residual smoke is looks for all like the real thing - very well done.

Definitely see this as a T-Shirt ... Bob
