The title suggests silence and it's a wonderful image. Brilliant concept.

Silence Interrupted
by Paul

Comment:
Your idea is good and fits the title. The shot is simple but quite effective to convey the idea behind your title but in itself does not convey a feeling of silence. Whilst the pin is positioned perfectly in the frame there is too much empty space at the bottom and on the right and the image would benefit if cropped a little tighter. Maybe an inch and a half of the bottom and off the right hand side. 4

Strangers in a park

Pretty glum looking people and quite a lot of litter all over the ground. I'm sure they are silent as they aren't talking to each other but the image as a whole does not convey a strong feeling of silence to me. As for the composition....you chopped the guys legs off and the photo would be much improved if you had stood a bit further back. Also you cropped a bit to close to the tops of their heads. 4

Red Silence

So many entries that show a person with a finger pressed to their lips. I know it's meant to imply "Quiet or Be silent" but the image does just not convey a feeling of "Silence" to me. 5

Idle Barn

Looks quite idle and silent indeed. Also looks a bit out of focus and a tad unsharp. 4

So many "tape over the mouth" images in this challenge. I have lost count.
It just does not evoke the feeling of "Silence" to me. The title also says nothing to me. This to me says "Silenced" but not "Silence" 5

Lips stitched together and a sad looking subject and a title that says "silenced' conveys to me exactly that"Silenced" But it fails to convey a feeling of silence to me. 5

Tranquility of Silent Zen
by martinkulik

Comment:
Maybe you should have done more of a close-up shot here because now there is too much empty white space that detracts from the image. Whilst the message in the title suggests Zen Tranquility the image itself does very little to convey a feeling of silence to me. 4

Duct Tape: For Peace of Mind

It just does not really evoke the feeling of "Silence" for me. This to me says "Silenced" but not "Silence" 5
