Look blurry to me but maybe it's because I'm viewing on my iPad. I like the title btw. It makes me think of the edited for TV version of one of the "die hard" movies where Bruce Willis says, "yippie ki yay mr fox!" in stead of mother f'er. It makes me chuckle.
Oh and just my opinion but, kind of a gangsta cowboy stance with the hand gun isn't it? Not really proper gun holding technique.

I have wanted to do some similar photos like this btw but, with the gun issues of today I figured it wasn't worth my time. Good for you on the endeavor.

These are hurt by less-than-idea focusing and limited depth of field. The first two, shot #1 with the two pistols, and the second shot with the revolver and shotgun both have poor focus on you, and just slightly off technical values. The LAST shot is a near miss; if it were SHARP, it would be a pretty good image, but alas, it's soft. The contrast is also a bit too high I think; there are lots of dark tones, but your face, and especially your hand, suffer from being overly "hot" and pale white. Still, overall I think the leather jacket, hat, and that neat concrete wall all together is the basis for a good shot idea, but the execution needs a bit more work. Selfies are often very tough.

Yeah i was having trouble getting focus right. Plus i was trying to hold my pose still for my slow shutter speed which is kinda tough.

I will say nothing. I am afraid you will shoot.
Maybe in this kind of situation you should switch to manual focusing and pen on paper depth of field calculation to find out the proper hyperfocal distance ? :gun:

And how slow is your shooter ?
