USP40Firing


I'm just looking for critiques on the photo. I'm guessing it's too low-res (native camera res) for consideration, but I want to hear what you guys think. All the better if I get a Second, right? ;)

 * The resolution is fine (despite some recent arguing on FPC). However, the composition doesn't seem great - too much person, not enough of the actual subject.  A better picture would make the gun more prominent, or perhaps include the target (to illustrate target practice or some such article).  I suppose it's hard to get a different angle safely, but you might experiment.  It's nice that you got it right in the moment of firing, though. --Davepape 15:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree, aesthetically it would also be more pleasing if we could see the target - the cropping/framing is too tight at the left. Stevage 09:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate the feedback, I do have to nit-pick this one based on experience. Framing shots that include both the shooter and the target generally don't look as good, such as here. Too much of the back of the head, and the pistol is mostly obscured by the hands. In those shots all you can really see is that a pistol was being fired at the range. Contrast this so the composition in this shot; ironically, if I'd been using a flash I might've gotten the same effect as with the shot I put up for PPR. :\ --UNHchabo 04:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
