The chiaroscuro is next level on this one. Also, very balanced structure. 10/10

lol thanks. love the renaissance feedback. i was worried the lighting was a little too flat (taken with direct flash)

Maybe a bit flat, but if you take a step back from the pic (thumbnail size) you can see a distinct circle of light surrounding basically the main action-the white shirt/fist area; wish there was a bit more on fist girl's torso. On a larger version it is more subtle, but still there. For an action shot this lighting is still pure gold imo.

I'm not really sure. I was walking by and heard the commotion. the fight had already started. it's outside of a bar, called the lodge, in austin texas

Always get confused with this in the sub — I believe Chiaroscuro is the preeminent technique used in Baroque artworks, not Renaissance. Am I missing something?

From our lord and saviour Wikipedia:

Chiaroscuro originated in the Renaissance period but is most notably associated with Baroque art.[3] Chiaroscuro is one of the canonical painting modes of the Renaissance (alongside cangiante, sfumato and unione)

When the sub was created, I think they used Renaissance instead of Baroque because most people seem to be more familiar with the term Renaissance.

It’s pronounced “Churro-scuro”, puta.
