Great concept photo.

Really great shot Nando and the message is perfectly visible!

Brilliant concept!

thats really effective, well done, love it

Thank you for the comments, guys. Luckily, my dad has a box with souvenirs from his army days (it’s compulsory in Brazil, not that he’s ever been in any conflict).

Great message.

Is that a smashing pumpkins song? ;) Nice.

Thanx Helen.
Christina, you’re right. “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” is the name of a Smashing Pumpkins song (great song, by the way). :)

Powerful image.

Outstanding!

this is one powerful image – would make a fantastic billboard for a human rights group – if I was you I would contact Amnesty Int and see if they are interested,

Hmm… that’s actually an interesting idea Julie. I might do that. Thank you for suggesting! :)

great concept – perfectly executed… love it!

Fantastic image…brilliant!

Wow. great emotion found here. Faith is needed for anyone encountering one of these bullets.

Compelling imagery.

So simple, and yet speaks volumes! Well done!

Fantastic, Well done and good work

Thank you people! I’m glad to see that so many people find this image “powerful”. It’s one of my favourites as well.

Saw this in the buyer’s booth.. compelled to seek out the original. It is an amazing composition. The simple sybolisim of the piece shows such a depth of the world we live in. Well done

I saw this in the buyer’s booth too…
Great concept and really well done.

amazing image nando, i don’t have the words to elegantly express the power of this shot, brilliant work

Awesome Shot.. it would make a great tshirt!!

You’re so very welcome Nando.. and that definitely sucks.. it’s too bad that the image couldn’t be saved somehow.. so that when it is transferred.. it highlights it on other colored tshirts.. there has to be someway to do that.. hmmmm

I must agree with wings here, we were both discussing how this should definitely be a t-shirt, is it still possible to buy as a white t?

Thanks so much Nando, i really appreciate you doing that

If nothing else, I would see about having a transfer made of it.. then perhaps finding a way to create an image from that.. something that might work .. as for being photoshopless.. um if nothing else you might try this link.. there are older versions of photo programs and they might help at least a little. www.oldversion.com

can’t help that I love the image.. ;o)

I haven’t yet read the artist or anyone else comment on the actual significance of this image, if one can be so presumptuous to do so.
The only message I can draw form this image is that Religion kills, i.e., behind every bullet is a faith of some sort. I love it.
