 I shot this through my glass block window in my bathroom. I had my daughter go outside and peer through the window showing some fear. The ripples in the glass block gave me the distorted look I was going for to give me the abstract feel. Shot in raw.

I am sure I will get comments that it is too dark, but you know, that is what fear is too me. A very dark and scary place. Came up with the title when I looked up fear on wikipedia and there was a picture title "The Scream". Fit perfect with my photo.

This dissolves into and out of abstraction, and the process is truly disturbing. Well done.

Would you rather me scream or vote your photo a 10? That's what I thought: 10

Very cool! Love the composition and the way it goes from the yellow-green to black. This is a very well done abstract emotion. Excellent!
