This shot packs a punch, the conversion is excellent, I agree with David re space left and right

Yes, nice action-stopping shot. I'd try a tighter crop, losing the left hand side.
Best wishes,

Nice shot
However, whilst I have punched many bags I have never used my camera in the gym but two things I would like to add - if it is a person showing shoulders, arms etc close crops show the definition of the muscles etc at the point of impact, for all other 'punch' shots I would prefer to see the fighters legs and feet as this will give the feeling of the 'fighter' having set themselves or more precisely their balance ready for the punch.
Can't be sure that this will work but feel pretty confident

I like it. You know she is hitting a bag, so lets see where she is doing it.

Good b&w. Like others, I reckon cropping to her right wd focus attention more on where it's meant to be.

Great lights, nice details, fine conversion. But I have to agree with the others regarding the composition.
