Normal day at Work

This is/was never going to be the best image in the world, but I still like it.
The photograph itself was taken in O'Neill's bar on Broad Street in Birmingham, and the story goes that the moron who's hands these are tried to punch his way through a door in his workplace, because he was in a bad mood.
Anyway, Like I say; it will never be a great photo, but I like the character of it.

I presume that without an opposable thumb the door knob was too tricky!!

I like it though and that it has a story to go with it.

 

[Barry Keavney]

Yea, lol
I suppose I can kinda see how someone would be just wound up so much that the idea of doing that to a door has a lot less consequences than if he had done it to the face of his "winder-uper?". The knuckle on the small finger of the right is also broken. Apparently this is not the first time either...Some people never learn!

Haha ... Barry Barry Barry ...
From what I understand this punching was done to my studio fire escape??

Nice shot though mate ... Can it get any more sharp, higher contrast and more clarity to bring out the wounds a bit more?

 

[Barry Keavney]

Lol, Hamish Hamish Hamish
Indeed that was the very door. Its now a really safe fire door because you can see straight through it...to see if there is a fire!
I'll run it through LR again, a bit messy this one. I'll repost as soon as I get it done

 

[Hamish Gill]

.... theres a hole in the door!! ... mate! hehe some people eh

Ahhhhhhhh often known as the pansy punch, Barry as you can see you have made most contact with your pinky knuckle obvious sign of a limp wristed punch, and a sure fire way of popping that knuckle into your palm best way to get around this I found is to punch softer things like people's faces or pets....... Haha I like it. Agree with Hamish on the pp aswell

lol, on the whole I would actually like to use things that are even harder than my fist's. I find a thump towards anything, in any method, generally hurts. Maybe this is where I should start re-enacting fighting for a 'foregone' cause, as opposed to actually breaking my own hands.
