wasnt sure about this one, looks oversharpened to me somehow, although i didnt. thought it was skeery enough for the challenge, had fun trying to
drown people! :)

wow! This is very well illustrated! It has that dreamy look like when you're having a nightmare about drowning. I happen to love borders, so I'm happy to see one get such a good score with a bold border :)
Really like the turbulent textured water distorting face and are. Color in right arm is a great bonus. I didn't care for the heavy blck border, it makes it feel a bit chunky, a bit thinner perhaps ? Actual photo is great "8"
Just back for comments...
Excellent use of border to "push" the picture inward and give that drowning feeling. Wonderful capture of action and facial expression as well. If I had to be picky, perhaps hands doing more flailing might also have helped to convey this phobia. Very well done.. one of my top picks for this challenge! Good luck!
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
