It's been a while since I've shot much ... so I thought I'd see what I could see.

Pretty cool shot Kent! This could be used as an ad. My only nits would be that I think I would like to see the front cartridge a little more in focus and some general clean-up (lint).

I'm not sure about the clip though. It's so oof that it's not easily identifiable thus I wonder if it adds or detracts. But then again, I could tell what it was so maybe not an issue. Another inch or so of DOF might work better? I like how you worked all the brass in the BG and you wouldn't want them any sharper.

Lots of shiny brass is always a good thing.

+1 @ Dave with the front round being more in focus and minor cleanup. I might look to bring up the surrounding ammo as the brightness would play off the black of the scope.

Clip? I see a mag but no clip!

In terms of message you might get some conflicting tones with the scope being the main subject but pistol ammo/mag being in the shot.

Welcome back to shooting.

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks guys ... definitely had you guys on my mind as I was playing with it.

Lint, yup there it is ... missed that one.
Not sure if you saw the earlier version (since replaced) that had a cyan cast to it (i.e missed that @ first too).

Gotcha @ DOF.
Shot this while sitting in my truck (awkward & tiny studio ), so I kept the SS up a little higher while working handheld @ MFD. Could have bumped the ISO too, but just wanted something to play with to get my head back in the game a little.

Jeff,

Not sure I'm following the ammo brightness lift ... if you could rework for illustration, I'd be interested to see what you're thinking.

Cries out for a little more DOF. Maybe a few shots stacked, asked the magazine?

Some modified Levels - nothing huge, but less muddied IMO.

Ummmm.... Yeah right Kent. Yup, I picked right up on that Cyan. It was the first thing I noticed.

You're just pickin on me. I see how you are now Mr.
