East Indian Drum Strings

This is gorgeous, well-framed, nice scarf (?) used as a background, very colourful in a way that is not too distracting. My objection is that while it is pretty art and is a reasonable concept, I really prefer that instruments in a "Sound" challenge be in use.

THANK YOU for actually having someone BLOWING the whistle.

It's another one of those shots where I wonder why black and white was chosen but it's not as if that's terribly distracting. It meets the challenge, it's a good photo.

The Sound of Peace, Silence & Tranquillity

Comment:
I will not argue about whether or not this is a 'sound'. Look, I'm shutting up about it right now.

It's a very pretty photograph. I like the line of powerline poles and the dip and swap that follows the mountain for a little while.

I do not care for the overall orangey tone of the shot, though I don't know how avoidable that might have been depending on lighting. The actual concept is good one... hey, wait. Is that a Hot Wheels?

Bzzzzzzzzzz...

Comment:
I had to scroll my eyes over a great deal of bright and eye-catching colour before finding the bee, which doesn't help with the feel of 'sound'. A tighter focus on the bee or a less bright set of flowers or even some less bright lighting might have helped with this. The border is very distracting as is; either a solid one or none at all would have been preferable.

Loud Colors

Comment:
I'd say "It's Mardi Gras!" except, of course, it can't be. However, I am curious what it is.

"Loud colours" is right. This photo is very busy and seems somewhat out of focus. I see the double-display of the challenge topic but the composition is sufficiently distracting that it's not a terribly attractive photo to me.

Paper megaphone? Interesting choice. It connects to the topic after a moment's thought. I like the tunnel-to-lips shot rather than some other depiction, much more interesting than a side shot or something similar would be.

must practise more?

*tilts head* How did you do this? Well, hopefully it'll be obvious post-challenge.

The problem for me with the concept of this photo is that as the trumpet is not currently being played, the fingers-in-ears thing is less of a good match. The basic concept is sound, it's the precise implementation that I'm not as keen on.

Pop
by Alecia

Comment:
One whole balloon earlier, one already dead one now -- makes me REALLY want to see the stage in between in a motion capture. I like the shot anyhow; the falling motion is obvious as if the pop was recent, which helps with the challenge topic being met. Maybe too bright on the lighting on top -- it probably helped make a nice crisp shadow, so only 'maybe', but it's a little distracting.

With Bells On
by frisca

Comment:
Heh, I was wondering if I still had my old ankle bells but I couldn't find them. Nice choice IMO therefore. A slightly different pose with the feet further apart might have given a bit more emphasis to the concept of motion and therefore ringing but it's certainly not absent with the feet in the position they are, I'm just nitpicking.

I'm a little uncertain why you chose B&W for this as all the traditional dances I can think of involving bells are things that involve very colourful costumery; I don't think it would have distracted but rather helped. However, that rug might be colourful enough to prove me wrong.
