Excellent shot ! How the hell you came up with this one, i don't know, but it sure is very evocative. A good story-telling capture ! Cynops

A great & terrific shot Katherine! Unfortunately it looks like a soft nosed bullet (dumdum) - the kind that really makes a mess........ Frank

I like this a lot, Katherine. All the elements (ground, sky, reflections, trees and columns?) forms a great abstract composition... but there is this obscene object that breaks the polite balance of the image! endika

I like the obviousness of the point of focus. It really makes everything else seem so much less is important. I bet it immediately made the street feel like a different place than before you found it. I have walked all over downtown Minneapolis and St Paul and never seen one (now empty cartridges from hunters is a different story).

Every picture tells a story don't it............The angle adds to the tension though I am not sure it needs it? Very evocative shot. charlie

Sinister subject, but clever use of shallow DOF and angle to make it more unsettling, Bruce

For me Katherine, it would be "find a shell, call the police". Just seeing this photo (by the way great stuff with the dof making the bullet jump out at you) makes me feel uncomfortable. I really don't like guns and guns getting used in the city only means one thing in my mind. I think I would feel better if I thought you set this one up, but something tells me you didn't.
