Action shot girl with pistol

Unfortunately this looks like just an over-saturated snapshot to me.
The background is intrusive, the main subject is off to one side and the pose is meh.

^+1 - what The Traveler said....

Pose? She is shooting a pistol! lol, it is over-saturated, that is what I was going for, if you look close enough there are 3 parts to the image, left/girl center/gun/ right/smoke

Don't forget tripod in background... that's the 4th part.

You can barely tell there is smoke even when you look closely. The skin is way over-smoothed giving her an artificial look. Maybe the shot had potential with a less busy background and better processing choices.

Good eye! These were just shot for fun, this was not a paid assignment, it was more like a bunch of drunken fun with four wheelers, cameras and guns :lmao:

Ok, then let me be the first to congratulate you on a crappy picture?

I mean, seriously, folks... this is a photography forum, right?

Perhaps if I had a few more drinks, I would have a different response to the picture but, being sober, it still looks like a casual snapshot with not much vale photographically.

As a long-time shooter I personally don't think the mixture of alcohol and guns is a recipe for fun, more a recipe for disaster. At every match I've shot even a whiff of alcohol will get a shooter disqualified.

As to the photograph, I have to agree with the others. Oversaturated and a distracting background. Good timing in catching the slide halfway back but the smoke completely disappears into the background.

You're right. It IS a photograph. Since we have now lowered the bar to nearly the absolute bottom, all we need is for everyone to start posting pictures of their buddies all drunk at the local bar and the whole forum can divolve into absolute garbage and the rest of us can stop wasting our time here and go do something more useful with our time.

If you don't want the photo criticized then post it in the for fun forum.......

But I also agree it's bad form to mix drinking and shooting, when the bottle tops get popped the guns should be safely stored away. That's how people get hurt.

Great suggestion, go take a "photograph"

Why is she wearing ear protection outdoor??? Such a pistol makes no big noise at all in an open field. Did you add the background with Photoshop?
