Description
She is at the end chasing her own fading lightrunning from her shadow in the name of living
searched for worth in the lust of men
paid in blood in different beds
mistaking sex for true love
they never meant a thing
her addiction brought her a world
of coward boys and of cheater girls
looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
so she boarded their sinking ship
and crossed their red needle sea
drowning truth to live her lie
that she was ordinary
in her fading shadow.
The biggest lie of all. The man with the gun is a metaphor of the anger he'd feel.Thanks to the models; ~enfermero , Charlotte and Tuukka.

DO IT.
Recently I went through this; being cheated one is the worst thing possible.
So my advice to the metaphor with the deadly weapon, DO IT, before she can take someone else's heart, spork it, and throw it down the drain.

I'm quite pricky about copying my ideas, but I'm also curious to see what you'd make out of it. So ok, do it - just make sure you'll show me the final piece.

Great subject and satisfying composition. However ther is lack of focus here. Based on the title, the couple on the bed should've been focused or the gun in the man's hand to make the picture more compelling and improve the overall feel. Because of that, I can't really "feel" the pic, although it is a good try and subject.

The lack of focus is intentional - I tried to express the man's(with the gun) feelings; disappoinment, anger, misunderstanding...
But true, perhaps it would be more dynamic if I re-shooted it and gave it a focus.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Very nice shot - like how the gunman is a stilhuette and the main focus is on the lovers

Well. I kind of like this. A good name would spice this up also, huh? Something plain like "Fuck lust!" or "Forgiveness?"
Thats the first thing that crossed my mind when i looked at this. Somehow u could have some more perspective in this pic. Like go closer to the gun and focus on it. I would made this picture seem much more angry. The position of the "sinners" is fab. I see the lust in this. Also i see the person with the gun as an woman. Just somehow. Yup, i gotta admit. The idea is great, but u could give this some more perspective and anger.

Do we need to show anger to express anger? I try to play with simple tools and make the viewer feel the things that cannot be seen. I just give them the pieces to make a whole. The gun is anger. I didn't feel that I need anything else to make my point. Hail conceptualism.
Damn, self-defense. I like your suggestions and perhaps I will try to make something out of them in the near future. But in the case of this photo, I'm almost satisfied with what I've created. Your point with the title is very good, but somehow, even with the title, I want to play god and leave the judging and questions to the viewer.
And about the your comment on my front page; Katatonia used to be perfect, oh the doomy times of '95. It's still ok, but perhaps too pleasing for the ear.

I try my best to tell a story in my every photo. 
In this case, I wanted to reflect the anger as simply as possible.
Thank you.

I've been the man with the gun - but without the gun. Thank God.
Really provokes an emotion in me and, I'm sure, anybody who has been in a similar situation. Great job.

As I was planning this photo I was thinking how to refelct the rage as simply as possible. I chose an object, the gun.
I've been through this situation too and I swear that the anger and disappoinment I felt almost took over me.
Thank you.
