I agree with your assessment, but the wide angle distortion is much more offensive to my eye. Since that can be considered artistic whimsy, I'll consider it a personal slant of mine.
Nice job with both chopping the rail, and with the camo. :)

I've been using this one as a banner for a while. Nikon D3000 a few years ago. It's not a full firearm, but I guess it kinda fits here. The things I like are the overall cropping to focus on the scope adjustments and the texture found on the shemagh. Since there isn't much to show in the picture, given its purpose as a banner to run across the top of a blog, I can't really find anything I dislike about this one.

I took this picture today after the snow and rain had stopped. I was looking at all the pictures in here and just wanted to see how something simple would come out with just my phone. And this is what I have my M1 garand with the rock wall and snow as a background. Think it suits the rifle pretty well. Only thing I may have done different for myself is not so straight on. But let me know what you think.

Took this pic to show off the specific design and color elements of the rifle. Used depth of field to blur the distant background. Wood siding for warm,rustic contrast to the metallic features on rifle. Taken with iPhone 7.

I think you should increase your DOF at least to the end of muzzle. It kinda looks like it's being stuck under water or into some force field or something. Try to make the hand guard go out of focus the same way the receiver tube does. The warm light on the wood siding actually works, for me anyway, but it would be nice to see it all the way out.
Is your castle nut staked? It looks like it's not.
Thanks, tb-av. The DOF is in beta for the iPhone so they only give you one setting (that I could find).
Now I see the watery force field.

I took this one to show off the CMR upgrade to my SBR. In retrospect I should probably sweep off the concrete beforehand, and start using my Canon 70D instead of my iPhone.
This picture just really appeals to me. I am sure there are technical reasons (or maybe it actually sucks?), but to MY eyes, it looks like a good photo of a muzzle device I got in the mail a while back, with a mixed "soft focus" background that I find appealing.
