I just dont get a feeling of "Silence" from this image. "Listening in silence" Yes but even the surroundings she is in don't look that silent to me. 5

I like the shallow DOF, and the texture in the bricks. This is one where I might break the rule of thirds to get symmetry on both sides of the "listener" - with trees and lines going down equally on the left and right of her. But nice shot.

IDK bout this one, she's sitting there seeming as if she would be listening to all of everything that seems to be surrounding her; however, she's listening to her ipod... hmm

I'm hoping this was staged and you seriously didnt walk up on someone sitting on the sidewalk like this lol.

I'm not a big fan of this hobby myself, but I appreciate the engineering ingenuity which goes into the creation of these machines.

For all that, this is a fine action shot, and one which shows off their power and grace and "athletic ability" rather than one mauling (crawling over) another, as I see so often in the TV ads for these events. Nice work!

Oh yeah, I love the juxtaposition of the monster trucks in the foreground with the "baby trucks" (golf carts) in the back.
