Domestic violence can affect anyone, even those we wouldn't expect and sadly so many suffer in silence.

Great entry M, I think this is one of your best yet! Well done.

P.s. Really impressed with the make-up and pete's expression.

I like the idea but might have more impact if the person was of the opposite sex. Kind of looks like a banged up football player here to me.

I like this as a commentary on what is the increasing problem of female domestic violence against men. Good image.

Thanks guys. I wanted to show that domestic violence can affect men too, as all to often this is overlooked.

Very little in known about the actual number of men who are in a domestic relationship in which they are abused or treated violently by women. In 100 domestic violence situations approximately 40 cases involve violence by women against men. An estimated 400,000 women per year are abused or treated violently in the United States by their spouse or intimate partner. This means that roughly 300,000 to 400,000 men are treated violently by their wife or girl friend.

Scary Stats, huh?

I like it Mairi. When I was single a good friend advised me to, "never marry a woman bigger than you". I belive that was sage advice. You have captured a perfect mood in the image.

Thanks Jimmy and Mark. :-) I was planning on doing a humourous shot this week but I think Craig's "darkness" must be rubbing off on me! ;-)

This looks like a book cover. Very pro.

And, yeah... Hit me once, shame on you. Hit me twice, the cops will be taking you out of the relationship.

The face says it all - "I'm bruised, but revenge will be mine!"

As previously stated, a great looking book cover and a great image.

Thanks Pete. My friend Pete was a great model, especially as he didn't object to me smearing him in foundation, liquid liner and a touch of green eyeshadow. .

Extremely impressive. very powerful.

Thanks Chris, glad you like it. :-)

Unfortunately I had no trampolines to hand but I'll definitely remember that for next time!
