Great, clear shot. Any parent will know how this conveys silence. I like the lighting, the focus is right on, and I even think the border is a good choice.

Very clear and sharp. I do like the way the colors are presented here, especially against the pure white background. I see you have also mastered the lighting perfectly, revealing only minimal shadows. Exactly as you would find in stock photography catalogs. The inclusion of the saliva running down just adds so much more impact.

i see a pic of an inanimate object. most such objects make no sound, and do not convey the concept of silence. this object is like those - not conveying the concept of silence (the opposite, as the owner is likley making noise right now). Does not fit challenge.

well done image...this is a great example of the power of a title, it's funny and it makes the image fit the challenge but silence isn't the first thing I think of when I see it

I like the image... focus and DOF are fine. Exposure could be better on the left side but it's fine. Only objection is to the title which really isn't part of the photo.
