*Critique Club*

"Weapon of Mass Destruction" is a good homage to Lord of War, which was an excellent movie. At first I was thinking of the Non-Point song "Bullet with a Name on it" but any way the shot defainlty grabbed my attention.

It sounds like there was some controversy durning the challenge as to wether or not this was still life, so I will just critique the photo itself.

The compoistion is very nice, we have a clean slate with only our subject. I think in this day and age an image like this gives a strong emotional sense. The focus is nice and stronger on the bottom. This I found interesting becuase usualy our focus is on the tip, so good job on a differnt persepcitve. Also it is intersting that you have enough light not to cast a shadow. I think a shadow with the soft focus would not have worked, so good choice.

Overall I think you had a very good orginal idea, and a pretty good image. Unfortunaly I think a lot of voters were thinking still life was only a living object. Either was this was a cool shot and I look forward to your future enteries.

Only if they are lined up in a row...but great detail.

This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects. After some lengthy forum discussion I reckon this can be said to meet the challenge - sorry -

Not much of interest here. Too simple.

DNMC--IMO a still life needs to have more than one object.

This is too centered for me, and doesn't hold my interest.

not quite but good try, now if it were a bunch of them strung together, I could go along with the title more. Your message is understood however. What caliber round is this? seems a bit blurry along the edges, rarely seen subject, good job with that choice.
