 Shot the watertower here in Den Helder. Imagining how one could be afraid of high buildings, I shifted the hue of the blues of the image to purple. Okay, I admit, it doesn't make me scared either :-)

Interesting use of color. Overall good pic. Doesn't seem to meet the challenge. "Photograph something in such a way that it conveys a personal phobia or fear to the viewer. Try to make the viewer feel the emotion of the fear."

This looks like a good one. How did you get the purple without advanced editing?

A nicely taken photo but has no link to phobia. Pity.

Unusual color change doesn't really add to fear factor. Interesting building, and I suppose I am to fear it falling over on me. Maybe, but just doesn't quite do it.

Interesting architecture and effective feeling. The color seems to be a bit overdone, but I still like it.

Wow, is that sky for real? What a bizzare color! Love this shot.

I don't like the processing you did to get the pink sky.

Were it not for the pink sky, this would be excellent. I will feel badly if I find out you live on a planet where the sky is really that color though.

I almost submitted a shot like this. I like the shot, but not the color.

The looming building sure conveys the fear. Not sure I like the purple, although the shot was probably a bit boring without it.
