This seems to be tilted clockwise slightly. A shallower DoF would have reduced some of the background clutter.

Red Rock Jeep Adventures

I like the sky, but the rocks feel overdone. Part of what makes the work of Joey, heida and the other Photoshop masters around here so impressive is that they know when to stop. The tree that snuck into the right side of the image is a bit distracting. Cloning or cropping it out would have improved the composition.

An Artist at Work

I don't care for the harsh lighting. The sharp shadows only seem to distract from the rest of the composition. I like the fact that the painter is included in the picture (it makes it feel like something other than a photograph of a picture), but I think that including _all_ of her is overkill. The muted colors of the model's clothing work well, but I'd be interested in seeing how altering her saturation in either direction would have changed the mood of the image.

Legendary Rock Colors

Comment:
The color on the lettering seems a little washed out. Since that seems to be the intended subject I think that the composition is weakened by this fact. I think that a more minimalistic setting might have served you better here. The light source and whatever the perforated plastic thing is don't seem to add anything to the composition. Illuminating the disk's label against a black background with the light reflected off of the back of another CD would have had a much stronger impact.

Ornithophobia - Fear of Birds
by Baron152

Comment:
This image feels like a literal representation of the feared object and doesn't really convey a sense of fear. The thing sticking up from the water and the bird in the foreground are distracting.

Potamophobia - Fear of rivers or running water

Comment:
Without any reference points it's difficult to tell how large this ice structure is. The image doesn't really convey a sense of fear.

Aphenphosmphobia - Fear of Being Touched

Comment:
Sometimes it's easy to tell when a photograph will be on the front page after the challenge. This is one of those times. Excellent work.

On behalf of all of us lazy voters: your presentation would have been more viewer-friendly if your title included a brief definition of the phobia in addition to the technical word for it.
