Taken while on a walk with a friend.. The building's only window seemed very lonely and out of place.. I figured this shot was as good as any I could take for the challenge.

Very nice capture with shadow and texture and the falling off of light in the left side. I do like how the window is not evenly spaced in the corner. Only bad is the perspective makes the window look a bit cocked off horizon

I'm not even sure what it is.

remins me of the frame from National Geographic :)

i like the composition here and the texture of the wall, it conveys the challenge nicely, but overall photo seems to have a graininess to it.

Beautiful shot. The colors and textures are perfect. The placement of the window is what makes this shot work for me. 8

This is arresting - the choice to include so much empty wall really works well. I'm not sure about the looming shadow at top left but perhaps it adds contrast. The vivid colours of the window frame and blind are quite startling.

Very interesting, creative interpretaion. Love the lighting effect, and the cropping is very intriguing, indeed. Thank you for a refreshingly different entry! Scores very highly with me :)

wonderful textures and colors (especially the green of the window blinds and the yellow of the frame) there is too much dark shadow for me

I have no idea what the title means, but I like the picture. Not sure if you've really captured the theme, so I can't give you a 8, 9, or 10, but the image is really fascinating and holds my attention.

Great lighting and texture. The right angles and positioning are interesting as well. Although it doesn't "speak" silence to me, this is still a good photo.

Really like the simplicity,texture & splash of colour in this image.
Not convinced that it fits the silence theme 100% but it`s suitably different.

Fantastic.

i like the texture and simplicity here. the colors are wonderful - to improve this shot I'd like a bit more negative space on top of the window (perhaps reality didn't let you??)

Lots of texture, funky lighting. I like this empty looking wall. The lone window is a good focal point for the eye. Good job.
