There are 2 rounds showing in the gun that means there are three empty cylinders. Most people probably don't get that, but it leapt right out at me.

If it isn̢۪t a J Frame then there are 3 empty cylinders and 3 cylinders that are loaded. Sure seems like a lot of 3s to me.

Edited:
Just saw the Made in Brazil, that means it is a Taurus.

DOF choices here really add to the mood and mystery of this image. Nice work! 9

Fantastic detail and clarity. The texture of the metal can practically be seen. DOF and composition are nice.... 7

The amount of handguns available in other countries always astonishes me. Nice shot, good contrast. 8

Nice sharp image, like the shallow dof. colors, framing, background all work together for a nice composition.

I guess titling this "Teacher,Teacher" may have scared some people.

I like the focus and the shallow DOF.

Ok, "Good lovin' gone bad" that is the one!

the 3 is not really the subject

I'm not a big fan of guns but I like this picture. It makes the gun look clean and sharp. It seems less lethal than it really is.

the main point of this photo seems to be the gun rather than the 3 bullets. I think more focus could have been made on the bullets.
nice lighting.

What an awesome pistol. ITs a great shot.

Excellent ighting with almost selective desaturation appearance.

Funny title! I like the clarity of this photo and the fact that you put your subject in the background. Nice job.

Beautiful light and focus here. Nice one.

Excellent use of DOF, and a nice play on 80's music :-)

I hope you do OK on the scoring with the "3" out of focus. Clever how the title and the sharp focus on the barrle work together, but I bet most people don't "get it".
05/31/2004 12:44:52 AM
But don't let go. :) The connection with "threes" is a bit tenuous, but close enough I suppose. Maybe a deeper DOF to bring the bullets into focus would have worked better for me. But technically, a decent shot.

Don't let go! :o)
