I'm not sure if Ups and Downs are still wanted as they seem to be a bit sporadic. What do others think?

Ups and downs do seem to be becoming less frequent.
It's the same people who tend to do them, and the same people who don't.
I wondered recently if we weren't doing them anymore.

Congrats to the winner, my vote went between yours and Xenophobia - Fear of strangers.
I finally voted for that last one.

Up: Mans Oldest Fear
I like the composition and the angle of the capture.
I don't know if it is my screen or not, but it doesn't looks sharp. I love hair sharp images the most, but that's my taste

Down: Xenophobia - Fear of strangers
Clear image, good lighting, sharp focus on the eyes. I really like it!

My picture:
I've figured out that there is a fobia for almost everything you could think of. Found Ballistophobia on a endless list of phobia.
some other good ones:

Anglofobia : Fear of England, Englishmen or English culture
Bromidrosifobia : fear of body odors
Caligynefobia - fear of beautiful women

UP: needle phobia. lovely crisp shot that won my vote. like the out of focus daughter in the background too - well done!

DOWN: man's oldest fear. liked the pp on this one, particularly. looks like an atmospheric place to visit. a good shot, but i just preferred the needle phobia one.

my shot was rushed - hope to produce something better this weekend!
