Beautiful without the bird - perfect with it. Lovely shimmery light and tones. Top 10% for me. Already voted, back to comment.

I'd hazard a guess it's a Bear_Music. Has the signature light and PP. The BG forest and housing does pull my eye away a bit from the skiff and the bird and the rich golden waters.

Great composition. I think the reds and oranges are a bit too over-saturated for my taste. I really like the reeds in the FG.

Robt, I am very fond of self-portraits, and think this one is staggeringly good! Superb lighting, and always, you've processed this like a champ. Just don't connect as a viewer with any real sense of fear for your phobia though. It's not that i don't have your fear (for obvious reasons), but it's not conveyed well. If I didn't know the challenge, I could easily look at this image and see a man deep in thought, not a man with a sever fear of something. Sorry for the diatribe, Bear....not intentional. Anyway, undoubtedly I'll see this on the front page, stellar shot. I'm jealous! 9.

Interesting effect with the in focus/out of focus areas appearing to be PP as a circular vignette around your face Robert. Almost like Vaseline in days of old. Not drastic, subtle. The weathered look suits you you old sea dog :)
