Great tones and composition Joe plus I respect and can relate to your no hunting policy as well.
The only thing I can get myself to kill are mosquitos!!!
Thank you very much Laurie 😊 There really is no back story here Laurie this is my Remington shotgun that I use for occasional skeet or trap shooting (I don’t hunt). The image is totally staged because it was so humid out I couldn’t bear to go outside to try out my new Fuji X-Pro 2 which just arrived that day. I added a hint of copper toner in Silver EFEX Pro 2 to give the image sort of an antique look. I’m guessing I did OK if I fooled you 😁
Everyone is awful when they first try but after about 25 rounds you start to get the hang of it Laurie 🙂 It is fun but usually the first time you come home with a sore shoulder with a 12 gauge.

So Joe, how did this image come to be?
It’s an incredible shot, don’t get me wrong. Just curious for the backstory

I’ve been wanting to try skeet shooting. I’m sure I’d be awful, but I think it would be fun!

Wonderful work Joe. Your work is very distinctive and I know it is your work before I see your watermark. I love the vintage feel to this image.
