Greetings from the CC. This is a funny shot. With a good poke at humor. Black and white works well. However the challenge was to let your picture relate a fear or phobia and relate the fear to the viewer. I'm not sure a light hearted attempt worked well with this challenge and I think your score reflected it. Photos taken of other photos generally dont do well. The flash reflection on the photo takes away from what you have in the photo. I think the photo scored just about where I would have voted if I had voted this challenge. Taking a more serious approach to a serious challenge will net you better scores. Good luck.
Right, the first thing that sprung to mind was they you are trying too hard, forcing the issue a bit. The heavy shadow on the right is distracting and the composition is poor. I'm not getting any sense of fear from this shot, soory.
Oh, and it is a little bit tasteless. What will happen if your wife finds out...?
Ooook. I don't know what to make of this one. Not photographically strong but a cute story and you've included the fear of the object rather than most people who have simply just photographhed the object.
