Great image! Really does present a scary moment. Nicely done - though the border may be a bit much.

Water looks more inviting than frightening. The element of panic might be better asserted if a slower shutter is used to blur the man's struggle.

fantastic interpretation of the challenge, and I like the feel you gave it. The colors inparticular are intriguing, and then the black towards the top seem to give it that fear of death feel. I don't know exactly what it is about it, I just think you did a wonderful job at achieving the overall feel for the challenge. Perhaps the best interpretation I have seen yet. GL.

Yup I want this one, great action, color lighting, and that vague sense of menace that really gets a phobia going. One of two tens in the challenge, I hope to see it just above mine on the ribbon stand

This poor guy looks like he has a darn good reason to fear drowning....looks way past a phobia (i.e. an unfounded fear).
Very nice colors, but I don't care for the very chunky border.

Gutsy, really good photographically and you have included the fear, not just the object. The dark and light are really dramatic, you're going to be in the ttop 20 at least I would think
