This Is one of my first Images I've been messing about with on the topic of domestic violence. Still working on the logo/caption.I know the HUGE black space needs adjusting/cropping but I thought i'd get something up here.
All criticism and comments welcome :)

I prefer this image of yours Wayde.
The composition is perfect, you can just see the man mouthing off at her centrally in the image. And the rest being shadow, leaving the viewer wondering what else could possibly be happening.
I think the close-up of a bruised woman has been done before, so this idea works better. It really shows a vulnerability of the woman.
I also like the way you've cut off the bottom of 'Stop' - it's still legible.
Did you take this imagery yourself?
Good job!
i really like it. i think this ones better than the other once cause the guy in the background shouting at her while she just looks vacant and worn down is really powerful. i guess maybe it might be a bit better in my opinion if you had her a bit closer to the camera, without so much of the frame of the bed in the way, just to make it a bit less cluttered. i like the darkish colours and the black bits good, just like you said, make it a bit smaller. but yeah it's good :)
Thank for your input guys!
well the model is my girlfriend
the guy in the background is me
and the make-up by 'Georgina Greves'.
This was like the sixth shot, I could of been at it all night lol. All lighting is natural In the hope it
illustrates a raw reality of the moment.
I wanted myself as a kind of subliminal element
the 2nd or 3rd point of focus to the viewer.
Im still unsure of the positioning of the logo/caption. I have it close to the edge at the moment and Im not sure if the size is right? Maybe Smaller?
@Matt
I thought the 'Stop' needed to be treated in a way that reflects the urgency of the matter so Im glad that this has been picked up on.
What do you think of the colour choices for the text though?
@Bonnie
Yep the bedpost is some what annoying but hey 'Ikea's' to blame I guess lol. But with that said I will try cropping some of the floor and sides and see what that holds.
Thank you for the comments!
wayde
I think the type colour should be purely white, to really contrast with the shadow.
Maybe make it a little bigger, but the way that it aligns with your girlfriend's face is the best place to put it!
