This shot seems somewhat busy, although I suppose it would stand reasonably well as a photojournalism shot. Definitely connection to the challenge topic.

Poor rusty bike. Very sound (heh, er, okay, I admit, pun intended) subject choice. The lighting is a little bright as the reflection on the muffler (er, that IS a muffler, right? auto shop was a long time ago) stands out a bit much against the rest.

Oh, I like this idea! It makes me want to know what was said to provoke the reaction, and the connection to the challenge topic is quite clear. The man's hair is a little distracting at that angle but the girl is quite well framed.

Huh, neat shot, with smoke coming through (I assume smoke, seems too dense for steam), and with a nice tonal quality. A little abstract on the topic side but I can see a clear connection to the topic.

rrrrRing.....@#$%!!!

It's a pity someone did almost this same shot. I opined there that a different background or a brass tone to the clock would have made the ringing more obvious, but you have a similar problem -- darker background for this one might have made it stand out more. Anyhow, it IS on topic, and it's a nice shot, very clean, but the clapper is a little TOO blurry -- maybe a slightly shorter exposure time?

Schism

Hmm, even with the title I'm not sure I understand what this is supposed to be -- ice cracking is my best guess, in which case it's on topic, but as it's somewhat unclear and a little abstract it's hard to get a good feel for it.

Good drum capture. Slightly strange to see all those people with no heads (you could probably make a horror story out of that if you were so inclined (but that's probably just the sleep dep talking)), but the focus should be on the drums, so it makes sense. Evokes the challenge well. It's maybe a little too busy, but I'm not sure what you could have done to lessen that impression.

Wow, another phonograph, and this time REALLY a phonograph, old-style. I have a soft place in my heart for vinyl, being I still have an extensive collection of it, so it very strongly evokes 'sound' for me. I like the toning on it, giving it that nice old-photo feel, which alas goes well with the subject.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. This is the sound of indecision.

The dancers caught my eye first, and while that implies sound to some extent, it doesn't initially jump out as a sound photo. A closer focus on the percussionists might have helped with this. I also am not sure I like teh way the bottom dancer is cut off; a different angle might have helped with the challenge-meeting aspect in general.

That having been said, aside from not caring for the dancer position entirely, I think this is a fairly good action shot.

Sound of Music

The slight angle and the bright lighting help make this an interesting shot even though the topic is obviously not totally original. The position of fingers helps with the active 'sound' presentation, too. Kinda looks like my Casio (hey, give that back!).
