I have this irrational fear where I believe hands like claws will grab my ankle and pull me down when I'm swimming close to rocks. But not any rock, it has to be a porous one.
Do you have any water phobia? Please share!

This picture reflects illusion and truth together perfectly. Of course the water isn't really blue and if you stare at those eyes for more than a few seconds you are convinced of their supernatural origin. The flesh is unnaturally pale - an accurate reflection of our delicate human condition but that shade of red will snatch your breath away if you get close enough - I don't care who you are. All the elements are represented in perfect balance with each other and the viewer - the very definition of magic. If you can't find the fire in this picture, maybe you need a new monitor.

Cristina,
I have featured this beautiful image here -
. hugging dead girls .. hugging dead girls .
my offer - i'll deliver you small bits of minimalist prosery, you take them and open your head a little ... let your own story in. you tell those stories in your heads, behind the wheel, turning back your bed, sitting at your desk, we won't call it theft.
- be a whimsy -
... there's a dusty trail of slapped faces burnt homes broken intentions poverty an wastelands left behind her, tracks in cement and sand ...
"... it's all about the last word." Her eyes jittering, jam-citied, hyped ripe thing sitting shadowed. "Oh?" my dismissive passing wipe swipe. "Howz that?" She's really kranked fingers tapping tapping a small rivulet of sweat and she snaps a finger at that open-space where nobody sits. "Lemme tell you ...
. language.
as they have done
to the carbon caverns
top torn mountains
of our enterprise
so they do now
If this presents any problem at all please Note me and i will make immediate amends.

I love the water, but I HATE when there's anything in the water other than seaweed pretty much. I can't swim by docks, anchors, rocks, etc without freaking out! Things like dams, underwater machinery, and shipwrecks, are my nightmare!

You look 100% like Morganna from Merlin O.O

I love your style, dark, just creepy enough and mysterious yet gorgeous

I've always been afraid to swim in water if it's not easy to see through it. I've always felt like a grindylow or other such creepy water creature would pull me under, and if the water's cold, that fear is quadrupled.

Your evil stare is scarily mesmerizing.
Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your portraits.

You look like Jennifer Connelly, especially in this picture! (I think it's the eyebrows)
Besides that, your eyes are so powerful. If I cover your eyes and look at just your nose and mouth, you look like a fair-skinned seductress who's calm and composed like a beautiful mannequin. Now, if I cover everything but your eyes, I see a deep, murderous intent. The image as a whole is mercilessly beautiful. Maybe you're a mermaid preying on sailors, waiting to lure them into your watery depths; you look so lovely and yet, so deadly.

Crecí en una ciudad costera, y he pasado la mitad de mi vida en la playa, y nadando en el mar. Y no fue hasta la adolescencia que empecé a tener cierto miedo irracional a las profundidades (supongo aue cierto tipo de cine tiene parte de culpa. Conozco más gente con idéntica experiencia)
supongo que madurar o envejecer no es siempre garantía de adquirir sabiduría; a menudo consiste en adquirir nuevos miedos, sin llegar a deshacernos de los antiguos.

Beautiful Picture!
I have the irrational fear that there are always sharks in the water, even when i'm swimming in a pool!

What a great portfolio! I'm fascinated by your artwork..
I grew up on the coast, literally; my back yard was Galveston Bay, and my grandfather had shrimp-boats. You'd think with all that exposure to the water... well nevertheless I still get creeped out, (sometimes) when I'm in deep water and can't see the bottom, especially if no one else is around. Primordial fears ? I guess the abyss has many faces - at least one for every human on the planet.

wonderful work, the subtleness of the water colour being similar to the eye colour adds the completeness of the image.

I have a phobia of drowning? Seems like the worst way to die 
I have like a total phobia of anything touching my feet anyways. Sock wearer like 90% of the time, so the idea of being in muddy rocky water with barefeet is.... gross

Beautiful.
I'm always scared that something will grab my leg and pull me down under the water. And underwater plants always look like they are hiding some creatures so I don't like swimming near to them. Or when they touch me under the water... o.o
