How to end a cat fight-- violent content

General Critique would be nice...
I shot this at night with my digital Fuji. Flash. 1/120.
I haven't retouched it in photoshop, other then cropping...

Interesting. Looks a bit "Hollywoodish" (aka staged).
Should use color if you're wanting to achieve maximum shock effect. Blood streaks tend to look like splattered mud in black and white.

Il ike the black and white look here but... I'd like to see it in colour so if you have such a version please post I do like contrast here

Stylish! I also like the model's "what just happened to me look". I would like to see this in a series of photos.

LOL

To end a catfight you bang the girl with a shovel? WTF IS THIS?

I like the shovel in the dim background but what is that between her fingers in her hair?

And I don't believe for a second she was in a cat fight & didn't smudge her lippy!

There nwas a series, but the ultra low light didn't work of a lot of the full length shots, only using my flash. Also, some are in color...
I have planned a reshoot soon... thanks for all your feed back!
I'll post the series sometime after nest weekend!
