The photo is okay.

The clarity needs work.

Clear pictures without a blurry look can sell a rifle in minutes on the internet.

Sorry to pea on your parade.....:(

Funny.

I never said it wasn't a great idea.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That is a nice picture of a gun crate or ammo crate.

The rifle is not clear, concise or well done. Sorry!......:(

I have seen some pictures of rifles on Gunnutz that are absolutely stunning.

And I have seen some ugly feet pictures.

Thanks for backing me up, Poffels. It's interesting how the internet often brings out people's arrogance.

The image has been intentionally designed to be flat, and it's also compressed it is putting emphasis on the slightly blurred rifle So he's right.. I've provided more examples or further clarification.

You are right, the image is off. The image is intentionally flat and also compressed, which probably puts emphesis on it. Honestly with my ADHD I hadn't quite noticed, but a keen eye and some retired time you cracked the case. I'm going to change the example picture, might get more sign ups. Thanks, sort of.

Would you like more examples? After all, I need to appease people who love to be critical. ;)

Hello Siwash,

I wasn't trying to be arrogant or critical, only real.

Had you explained that original picture from the start, I would have commented accordingly.

My apologies if I offended you, that was not my intention.

The pictures you now have up are beautiful, clear and concise. I love the faded outer edges, well done.

Sometimes things in life are about perception, I think we can both agree on that.

Now if Gunnutz can only figure out how to stop upside down pictures we would be dialed. lol

Well your intention may be pure, but your words come off much differently, and that’s okay. There’s room for all kinds of opinions, and you were right in the end. I hope you enjoy the free guide, it’s for people who don’t know a lot about photos, or what to use on their phone to improve their photos. There will be a full large advanced version when I get into DSLRs if this is too basic for you.

I can tell what you know about photography just on your vocabulary. Concise? Are you talking about the photos composition? And faded outer edges is called vignetting. The “blurred” thing you see is bokeh, and it’s very deliberate and done to separate the subject from the background/foreground. The pistol with the tossed ammo is a good picture, the “subject” is the pistols grip and controls. The focal length is so short there that the barrel is blended down with bokeh.

Anyway pics are good, lets keep em coming lol

To be fair he was talking about this image, and he's right the rifle is off a little.

Here we go folks, it's fun when a photo can create conversation. Here's the final version. :) I had picked the WRONG image and hastily put the image together and I paid for it. Any FUZZY on this is purely the forums compression. :)
