Went with my granddaughter to the sea and we tried to get a face that was afraid of the sea but most of them have big smiles. This one though might work;-)

Nice exposure and colours. i don't get the feeling of thalassophobia though. And i hope you won't expose your young model to such risks for future challenges.
I think the right word here is eluding me, but it may be "to candid" i think. The challenge is phobia, and I just don't get that feeling out of it. It was still very nicely executed.
Well no wonder..... looks like she has good reason to fear it at present.
A phobia is actually an irrational fear, not a perfectly reasonable concern (and someone with a phobia would NOT put themselves in such a precarious postion).
However, I appreciate you making the effort to depict fear.
