I certainly was not offended in any way. It depends upon the intent of the photographer. I wanted the interaction of the old rancher with the gun that had seen better days. There would be no point in showing the broken gun alone, in my opinion. It wasn't about only the gun ; it was about the family and the Parker.
Various people at various times, including me, have made basic photography suggestions on this forum. Who knows if any of them had any effect. Very few people even post photos, including some who talk about their gun collection but never post photos. My photos are pretty basic. If you like good stuff, see Bill Bates's website.
