This is really amazing! Love the story behind how you captured the shot too by the way - would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching all the commotion to get it done. At first glance, I actually thought that this was a painting. Love the Topaz adjustment and the addition of texture to add even more mood and ambiance to the presentation of this. Great job.

Wonderful self portrait! I thought Annie Oakly right away when I saw it. You did a great job with BG and focus. All your effoprts paid off! Great contest entry!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun! Rather doubt that Annie had the benefit of a telescopic sight!! This beautiful posting clearly benefits from first rate composition, focus and exposure. It is obvious that these have been responsible for the production of a very memorable photograph, well done!

Thank you very much for the lovely review. I think you are right about the telescope, but since this is the modern Annie I suppose it is OK. LOL

I gave you a six because after everyting you said you did to get the shot-you actually pulled it off. Kodo's to you dear. Your effects look cool as well.

I hate to dock a half star as you have made a pretty good shot at it. Problem is that the shadows are just too deep and we lose the end of the weapon too. I would love to see more of your face, too but the shadow of the hat has scotched that idea. You could have used lighten to good effect here I think to improve what is a good start. Can't think why you used Tv. Self timer can be adjusted to give you at least 10 seconds on canon.
