This Photo Was taken in Bermuda at the Hamilton Harbor. This depicts my greatest fear and worst nightmare. I have an extreme fear of being in the water in front of a giant ship. I stood there in front of that ship for about 10 minuets in complete fear and awe! It took me about an hour to calm down after that one!! The photo came out great and is still a bit intimidating.

Well I see this is your first entry on DPC, welcome to the battlefield! I didn´t vote in this challenge and if I did, I probably would have voted this photograph a 4 wich to me means not really a bad photo but nothing really that grabs me about it and it doesn´t really fit the challenge all that well, hence the 4.
I got the impression before reading your own comment on the photo that it was pretty much a snapshot, you just took any photo of the week, slapped a title on it to tie it in with the challenge and voila. It wasn´t till I read your comment that I got that dreaming about a giant boat crashing down on you was your worst nightmare. You can pretty much see that the voters agreed, most didn´t get it and thought the nightmare was going on a cruise or sinking boats, not being run over by a boat.
What I am trying to say is that it kindof looks like you didn´t put any effort into this photo and DPC voters really like effort. Know what you should have done to get a better score? Should have thrown that guy into the water, having him swimming there closer to the boat and framed the photo so the pier he´s standing on wasn´t in the photo, preferrablly also not the pier to the left. That would have been so much cooler and gotten you a much better score.
I do like the sense of the boat looming over the guy in the photo and the composition is good, nice use of the frame.
Don´t let the low score scare you away and just go for the next challenge guns blazing and try to do something unexpeced but first and foremost, be sure to make it ironclad that people get what your photograp is about.
