I think this is my favorite. It is so different from the rest and I love the tones and detail. I gave it a score of 8 but I am going to make that a 9.

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

I love the anticipatory silence this image creates. I would have been tempted to crop out the bottom smudges and perhaps use a 2x3 portrait with the pin centered. Having the green ball just off center makes it feel a bit off balance to me. The sharpness of the pin's tip is fantastic and it looks like you're really dropping it (over and over and over... :)
