This is a very weak pointless grab shot of lady shooting a gun. A gun which which is aimed just off frame. There's pretty much nothing in the picture which warrants clicking the shutter other than there is a gun in it which will provoke people on a the camera list which you are on especially if you title the thread glibly" Friday Firearms". Is there some guy in the background out of focus somewhere? Didn't notice him. On 10/30/15 11:04 PM, "Sue Ryan" <skalte at icloud.com> wrote: > Agreed.
