Corey, this is really good! I love the light, and it draws you in and makes you want to know the story. It looks like so much more than just a posed portrait. You can feel the burden.

He stood sentry. The town knew him as a crack shot, and thus he was called upon frequently for guard duty. Especially now that news had reached the Sheriff that Bobby "Big Guns" Bolster was on the prowl.

Suddenly, he heard a crack in the tree above him and raised his finger gun in alarm. With a shout, the bandits dropped from the branches and drew guns of their own. Double five-shooters!

He did a roll, to put himself behind the trough, and heard the shots as they rang out all around him. "bang! bang!" "Pew! Pew!"

He waited until the shooting stopped, and he knew the enemy had to reload. With a yell, he popped out from behind the trough and fired. "Krakow! Krakow!" His 44 magnum tore through the night. "I got you Jimmy!" he cried.

"Oh, I'm hit!" yelled Jimmy and dropped to the ground.

He had missed the other bandit, who he had identified as Bobby himself, and rolled back behind the trough as more shots from Bobby rang through the air.

An hour later, after a most exhausting run through the town, and a spirited gun battle, he finally cut Bobby down in the square. Then, gathering everyone up, they congratulated each other on a very fun game and went off for beer and nachos.

I love this portrait. Very sharp and good composition. The background with the broken window looks good

Nice pose, but I can't tell what the red smoke is and therefore it's distracting.

I don't see what's the burden

He's very well lit. Not so sure about the red light in the background - too red (on my monitor) to count as sundown, although the time on the clock would match it.
