Your documentary-style angle of the boat is far from fearful. I also think the space on the right is really unnecessary -- I'd crop that out.

I guess one could say if your not doing anything wrong there is nothing to fear :)

You have the fear of the Police?!? This takes on a 'snapshot' appearance to me simply because you don't see them 'doing' anything besides driving by and is a little too dark for me, but it is nice and sharp. Good job. cthenk

Not really sure what this has to do with fear... unless you're a felon...

I may be old fashioned but I still like to think of police presence as a comforting feeling. They could mean fear to others so I will keep an open mind here. If you could have waited until the other boat was in front of the police boat I think it would have done something for the interest factor. Also you might have panned to the right and eliminated the bridge, then it would have been almost total marine scene. A 5 by Autool. Nice crisp shot.

Picture not sharp, no fear is shown.

The sky is kind of washed out. I guess 'anything' can be an object of fear, but I don't think you really showed the frightening part of the Police boat. Maybe you could have gotten them to shoot of a few rounds at you? :) (Yes, I'm kidding)

Not sure why this is fear related

Not enough of a story is told here. To me it looks like a picture of a police boat...period. Maybe if there was a cop on deck with binoculars or spotlight I would be able to get some 'fear' out of this. 4 Lisa

one must be a criminal to be afraid of police !!

Good cropping, color, and focus. I also like the way it is composed. I guess this would be particularly scary if you were doing something you weren't supposed to be doing. :-)

I don't see FEAR. This is more of a holiday snapshot to me.

I like the fact that you positioned the boat so it has room to 'move' in the frame rather than putting it in the center... = 6 - jmsetzler

Are you afraid of the police? Time of day for this shot is better in the early morning or sunset. Composition with the subject in the center is boring.

What 'cha doin' wrong? A bit dark, but otherwise fine shot. Fear what?
