This one stood out to me probably because of the contrast between the hands and the flower. Inspirational and thought provoking. I like the shine on the skin and the depth of field.

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.

Beautiful lighting and wonderful textures. I wish there wasn't such a clear line around where the darkening material on the hands ends into the palms.

The hands strike me as an unnatural color, I like the idea and composition but the coloration doesn't appeal to me

Silence Interrupted

Comment by ThingFish:
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
