Lads & Lasses,
I'd like to mention when picking a subject, make sure it's a "visual subject
and not a psychological image!"

In other words, we all know fear, but without staging the "perceived images"
illustrating fear what are you going to photograph??

As pointed out:

Yes there is fear all round in many jurisdictions, but is this not a "mental
state and not a visual state?"

never the less... it's primarily a word / discussion subject!

Not saying someone wouldn't come up with a picture or two, but I believe
simpler subject matter with picture possibilities rather than "psychological
image!"  Would produce more opportunities for everyone to make successful
photographs.
