Comment by citymars:
You got killed by the number of similarly themed entries, and your photo lacks that count-the-pores sharpness that is de rigeur for dpc. Personally I don't like your choice of frame, but the photo itself is very appealing. The brutal crop, somewhat awkward stance, "stiff neck", and partially-seen mouth all add interest for me. I also very much like the color palette.

This should have scored higher than a 4.3 without a doubt. I think the title is perfect for the challenge.

Aw, don't give up... I think I really enjoy entering challenges just for the comments. And then comments like yours make up for all the negative ones I personally don't quite understand. ;)

I loved this during voting, it should have done a ton better!! The colors, the pattern of the dress, the processing...all spot-on. Definitely not a 4.3-worthy photo...!!!!

your model seems just a bit too stiff in her neck for this.

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

The tiny bit of the mouth that shows is a bit distracting.
