Solid photograph, but waterfalls don't really say "silence"...

I LOVE this photo so much! But... ... to me, it doesn't fit the challenge. I think "roar" not "silence" when I look at your photo. So, it gets lower score for the challenge, but darn it this is a good picture!

There is no protest or rebellion. I had decided to not post at all but I changed my mind and decided to post whatever I have been working on. I don't go out and shoot for challenges anymore, so I just submit something I have when challenge time comes around. I thought I might be able to get some amount of feedback that was useful, even though the photo doesn't meet the challenge. There are a handful of people that seem to be irritated because I have done this but there are only two or three so I may continue to do it.

There is nothing in it for me other than some possible feedback. The scores I get on these are definitely below my challenge average. Scores are just numbers though :)

Cheers :)

I was using a 3-stop ND filter and a polarizer on this photo.

I really don't see much relation to the challenge here. This is a nice shot, beautiful area but beyond that??? If I'm missing the point .....please PM me.

A stretch for the theme of the challenge but clever. really makes the illusion. I hope you held on to the kids!
