Snooze

It's difficult for this image to communicate silence when the main subject - a hammer - is one more asociated with noise. The effect is compounded by the use of the hammer to break something. Thus not good choice of subject for challenge. Yet it is nicely composed with effective use of depth of field.

I'm unclear what this is and it does not communicate the idea of silence to me. Technically it is a good shot. I like the reflected plug. perhaps, given that it is Advanced editing you might have adjusted levels or done a bit of dodging in the dark areas to reveal detail there? then again they are a nice contrast to the shiny areas which are well lit (easy to get flare and highlights if you're not careful) So well done for a good shot but marked down as it does not communicate silence (to me anyway:)) 6

Silent Drummer

This feels like a hastily taken shot. I presume the graininess a consequence of a low-end camera so not fault there. Composition is main concern. I need to see more of the child to evoke more silence. The drum attracts unwarranted attention. Try getting a bit highgher and close to child's face and you will then have a nice portrait rather than a rather cluttered snapshot.

Nice composition. It looks a bit over-sharpened and saturated though.

This works very nicely. The first shot that says 'silence' to me without too much effort.

Very engaging image. A tighter crop would also work very effectively retaining only the bottom third?
