I would never have guessed that this is a roof. It looks like most people didn't understand the link to the challenge; I don't, either. On its own merit, though, this photo is really very interesting. It abstracts wonderfully, and the detail is fascinating.

I cannot see the tie bewteen your phobia, and the picture. Thought astraphobia was the fear of thunder and lightning? Maybe I am missing something. Looks like topography though.

Very good. Sort of dream-like, if that's what you were going for. (I've had this dream...)

I'm not sure how this relates to astraphobia, though perhaps you suffer from it so much you're afraid to depict it.

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.

If Astraphobia is the fear of thunder and lightning, then this picture doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I can't see how the picture connects to the phobia of fear of thunder and lighting ... I think I am missing something here.

I don't see this phobia in this image. I like the image a lot, very dramatic and gutsy ... but fear of lightning?
