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.

Silence of the Moss.

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?
