Its very cool Willie, Great idea & the vibrancy really shouts out at you.

Focusing is good & the clarity very pleasing on the eye. The smoke & gun is well exposed. Its a pity i cant see more of the gun.

One suggestion bud, i'd seriousley consider doing this in black & white. The green cast on the gun would look better in mono. I would also have more of a tilt on the gun. Pointing upwards...as if it had just fired & you are about to blow the smoke away. I'm an eastwood fan lol

    Thank you so very much! I value your opinion! I will look at it in black and white. I still have a couple of weeks so I will try some more! I will try the upward tilt too! Thanks again!

Absolutely! I'm not a gun person or anything but you did a fantastic job here! Excellent details on the gun, nice balance between lights and darks, perfect placement in the frame and the stream of smake is cool! Also the black background is perfect!!

Excellent image. Very creative. I think it would pass for smoke art. All of your techs look excellent. Strong visual impact. Thanks for sharing and good luck in your contest.

Wow, this is great, I love it. Excellent idea and perfect realization. Darkness of this adds the impact, colors are so beautiful. Recently I saw the smoke drops at photojojo, haven't tried it yet, two liquids mixed together give the smoke, have you tried that maybe? Great photo, thanks for sharing.

Would this pass for smoke art. I don't know why not. A great idea and nice l shaped pattern. I kind of think this is a keeper.

Needs more than the 5 I can presently award! In my mind this is definitely smoke art!! Nice frame filling composition presented here of an interesting subject. Looks like one of those scenes in TV or films. Your shot is very sharp and very well exposed providing us with lots of great detail and natural looking colours. Very good photo, well done!

a very goog way to show the smoke out of the barret I for one would have thought that the gun had been fired ..nice and sharp as well ..the black background does set it off

Wow this certainly has impact! I think this is a really creative and powerful image. Maybe more so because guns are still quite an enigma here in the UK for the likes of me. I've never even seen a real handgun. The way you captured the smoke with that swirling action is superb. Inspired to blow cigarette smoke down the barrel. Great work!

    Thank you so very much! This is one of three handguns I own along with three rifles and a shotgun.
