It's ok mum, just don't move...

"It will look really good to get a shot of the pellet coming out of the gun so just keep completely still and I'll aim for the tiny square of polystyrene I've taped near your hand holding the camera. My friend thinks you're really cool doing this - she says her mum would run a mile from a loaded bb gun"
AAAARGH!!!!

You could have just balanced an apple on your head! Good shot, though! (Yours, I mean!) :-)

[davide]

Great fun shot! I think you did a fantastic job framing this the way you did!
My eyes are endlessly attracted by the red gun

@jenirainbow @woot
Thanks both - there is no way I could have balanced an apple on my head and remained steady... he only got the gun last week!! The rule here, apparently, is that you can't buy a black gun, it has to be brightly coloured so folk know it's not a real gun with bullets.

[Mary Lou]

you are a cool mother!! Nicely framed shot!

[Holly Anna Schwartz]

He's handsome and you're brave!!

[bmnorthernlight]

haha, you're very brave! Apparently you live to tell the tale ;-) this is such a fun shot (yours of course!)

[Sharon]

LOL!!! I like the gun being red. Really draws your eye to it.

[Diana]

Yes! Red distinguishes that it is a toy! But that serious one eye has got you in his sights!

[Peter de Graaff]

I would like too see apple on head

[Bev]

I don't do well with guns pointed at me, so I can't say this is an excellent picture. It actually disturbs me a bit.

[Shirley Banford]

Excellent shot. He's got his aim on you. I hope no one was hurt during the making of this photo.

[davide]

@filsie65 it sounds quite reasonable, I'd say. It's not uncommon on the news to hear about robberies done with toy guns

[Christie Hicks]

Fun shot......no pun intended.

[Kathy]

Yikes! haha... good 'shot' Phil!

[Taephy]

oh dear, i hope his aim is good.
