OK I'm a little different but this went right to the favorites. The fact you have a woman holding it is great as well as going w/B&W.Jack #9935011

I love old B&W mystery movies from the 40s, so just love this B&W image Lisa.Tammy D. Ferren January 26, 2012
I love this and it's a great capture. Wonderful 'film noir' feel. I notice that even though it's obviously deserving, it didn't get an EP. I posted one a couple months ago from a shoot for a camo catalog and the man was pointing his rifle. It also didn't get an EP. Although IMHO it was probably good enough for one. Seeing yours and KNOWING that it deserves one makes me wonder if they just won't 'encourage' by giving EP's to pics with a a gun in them. Just kind of thinking out loud. This is a great capture. #9947920Lisa J. Boulden January 26, 2012
Thanks for the support, Tammy. I was thinking along that way. Was tempted to remove it when it didn't get an EP, but kept it up because I kinda like it.(I really hope that it doesn't offend anyone. Does it?)
Thank you ALL for your kind and supportive words.
