Re: Fire away
Nice image and layout. The red shotshells draw the eye to the "center" area of the pic and keep your attention.
Biblical assurance of salvation does not flow from a past decision or a prayer, but from the examination of one’s enduring lifestyle in the light of Scripture.

I know nothing about photography but that is a beauty of a gun.

Re: Fire away
I really like the shot, and I'm the last person on here to give, or from whom to take, critique, BUT
the camo background is a little busy, throw in another dove in the upper right (odd numbers in triangular spacing are always more visually pleasing), and add a couple of empty rounds somewhere to make it look more haphazard and not as arranged, tighten up just a little to get the boards out of the picture.
All in all, though, a great still life.

I wish I had a khaki colored vest.. Then the dove wouldn't blend in so much.... I have a couple of more with the old box of shells in the pic.. But I forgot to turn the time/date stamp off on the camera, and really coupln't crop out the date with out cutting off to much of the gun or the birds. . So next time I will take the time/date stamp off the pic



Does anyone know how to remove the date from the pic

Re: Fire away
photoshop it out. 
If you need I can take a stab at it, but pretty sure Deag can handle it.

Re: Fire away
I tried, but I don't have photoshop and it didn't turn out so well. I need lots of practice.
