A great photo for this challenge. Well composed, basic elements that all work. Great focus and colours. A really good submission.....

The (sign) language of love

A number of people have gone this way. The dirty fingers distract. Part oif the hand is overexposed. The crop makes the photo feel incomplete. However the depth of field for this was spot on.....

The Look Says It All

Hmmmmm, a photo of a bird. Not really saying Language to me, even with your title.....Sorry

Apart from that, it is a good photo, just not really to my liking. Its sharp, its well exposed. Has both true black and white elements. The water is a bit distracting thought.....

Have seen this done before, and the effect here, while good, is not outstanding. The red is a nice touch for this, but the uneveness doesn't help. Also not sure this book is the best. I would like to see the cover cropped out, and a book where the pages sit a bit flatter to make the effect work better

Mutual Understanding

An undertsnading, maybe. Language, a bit of a stretch though.
The minimalist ground can work on occassion, I just don't think it has here though. it results in feet cut off, and the interest of the photo being in the very bottom of the shot, which I don't think works

The blurry world of Binary Code

Blurry, yes. Good effect however. I like the curvature that results in the code. I like the idea you had as well.

Is post a language? Even a letter is not really Language, but I will allow it anyway, as I see a strong connection to communication, and the use of language

I presume you in Processing went for the blown out sky, especially seeing the effect that this processing had on the tree. The stark look is one that can work effectively, but the loss of detail on the tree etc I think hurts it here.. The range of shades through the photo is good (ignoring the sky) with everything from black through white present.

There are significant artifacts in this photo from the processing/saving of the photo, pbvious lines between colours............
Also, does not meet the challenge for me.......

have come back to this photo a number of times, and still it does nothing for me. Nothing of this makes me understand the point, or message you are trying to put forward with this photo............sorry

A shallower depth of field could have blurred the rubbish bin and shelter in teh background, therefore removing the distracting elements as well
