Congratulations on the ribbon, Christophe. A letterbox frame would have made it seem bigger - and brought out the frame haters LOL Darned if you do, darned if you don't . . . (my mom wouldn't allow stronger language than this)

I particularly liked the blocks of light and dark and the silhouette figures added nice interest. I thought the geometric quality of the overall composition was very nice.

I gave it a 6 - kind of the average between the "impact" score of 3 I would have given it based on originality and interest and the "technique" score of 9 I would have given it based on the lighting and processing. I think tanguera is right - it's very well done and just right for the challenge or for illustrating silence in another context.

Bumped this to a 7 late but forgot to come back and comment. I love it. Resigned and repressed. Silence for the moment but the sound will be back - thankfully :) Should have finished higher, IMO

The colors seem overdone to me which is especially jarring given the challenge topic. Voted earlier.

She seems so lonely in contrast to all the others - they in the sunshine, she in the shadow, they laughing and chanting or cheering, she silent . . . Good feel for the challenge. Voted earlier.

Makes me cringe every time I look at it but it's an excellent capture. Are his skin tones a little red - or does that come from holding the breath? Voted earlier.

Not at the wheel, I hope :) Nice the way everything fades off in the distance and the mist. Voted earlier.
