Very interesting concept, one I'd normally say would work better in black and white for impact, but the colour makes it feel more alive, more immediate. The rust stands out, and intrigues me as to it's purpose; it's the only shell like that, but it's the only loaded one too. Perhaps it's just coincedence, or circumstance, but it gives the picture duality; while it has the power advantage, it still has flaws and imperfections, and no control is ever absolute.
The picture is, as ever, perfect in all respects, if a little bright, especially considering the subject matter

Excellent. The motive is politically strong.. the meaning is obvious, but not less horrifying. I am fascinated by simplicity and the idea behind this work. +fav.

No, not authority, for that is something granted, not taken.

It can also be something which is attempted to be imposed....

Very interesting concept and symbolism.
...I'll stop there since everyone else seems to have written that.
I like the message, and the blue sky in the background... seemingly innocent, but no accident.
Very cool, as usual.

Haha I know what Freud would say about this one.... Maybe hes right, maybe wars and the tools used to wage wars is part of the boy's club. This is a wonderfull shot, nice composition, i like the balance of the background and how the pile behind helps transition maintain that nice even balance, also helps keep focus on the single large standing bullet. I like the colors, the sky realy has a nice touch to it, and aged look of the bullets have makes it more authethinc, doesnt seem like it was produced in a studio for this sole purpouse, it seems like this sign has been here for a while and you happened to discover it and capture it with your camera, almost saying look this has been under our noses the entire time but no one stoped to notice it. On a side note not that there is anything wrong with this shot, but i think it would be interesting to see another shot with a pool of blood spilling towards the lone standing bullet, but that would probably require a white background that wont absorb the liquid, dont mind me deranged visions . Anyway I like this shot, it can be mean many things and rests on the person's perception, just like how Freud would relate this to a phalic symbol....

Whoah, bold and strong statement on a false sense of security.
Beautiful contrasts between tones and excellent focus.

Thanks man. I always try to look beyond the obvious, and from your pictures I know there's always a more subtle and hidden message.
