Awesome work. I like the subtle blood spray and bullet.

A lot of work evident here. The travelling bullet out the back is a neat addition, but it doesn't seem to be coming from her gun since they're both pointed away from him. Also, the rain gives it a dark, moody atmosphere, but it muddies up the image somewhat.
Nice work! Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks for the comments ^^

Looking forward to seeing more!/as
I'm gonna take some more screenies and start perfecting some of those techniques some more so keep and eye out (:

I am aware of that finishing move .. but as a single, static image, divorced from the kinetics of the activity depicted, the bullet path doesn't make visual sense. One way of possibly making that movement more explicit might be to give the sleepwalker a line of bullets across the chest, varying the size of the blood spurts to show that the bullets were delivered one after the other? Or you could perhaps blur the arms of the woman implying that left to right arc motion.as for the bullet if you use SMG's you'll know that for this finishing move the guns sweep left to right and vise-versa

P.S can i borrow your eyes? :p
Awesome work!!! I can kind of agree with the other posters though. The single bullet is messing with me, and not because of the position of the guns, "THATS BULLET TIME SUCKAS!!!!" , but a couple more rounds to match the quantity of shells discharged and you got yourself a winner. Also, ease up on the weather, and give us more blood, and an even row of shots, "Like, have a couple in the middle of the chest and then some going out each direction out of the chest cavity, which will match the bullet time move that your character is performing".
I still love it though.
PS. I know that end move isnt in bullet time, but if its being captured photographically in a still, i think that might make it a bullet time moment, just not in a video format.

Nice work, I especially like how you have the shot tilted a bit so it's not flat; it gives it a much closer feel into the action.
My two cents are that it could use to have a little more contrast. If you apply a black gradient map on Soft Light that is erased on the top half, and do a bit of dodge/burn painting with a light source, you can get something like this (very rough, 2 minute example):
