I took this picture while on a Whale watching boat. That's my hand with the popcorn in it.

Interesting. Doesn't give me much of a sense of silence though. The hand barely showing is distracting. Hard to get good exposure (like more in the bird to bring out the feathers more) on a fast moving target

somehow, this looks like a very violent and hectic scene.
03/08/2004 04:15:23 PM
Neat shot. I don't get the feeling of silence here.
03/08/2004 04:32:43 AM
I think this would've been better if framed against either the entire sky, or have the horizon level. Perhaps stretch the photo to give it a bit more width.
03/07/2004 04:26:52 PM
Silence ? Great catch, but does not express silence to me.
03/06/2004 08:43:19 PM
This looks like chaos, not silence.
03/06/2004 12:00:16 AM
Must be the first silent gull in the history of the world... nice shot, though!
03/05/2004 11:28:43 PM
nice picture, for sure... but i'm not sure this is to the point
03/05/2004 07:16:51 PM
Silent? Probably not. Great picture? Absolutely.
03/05/2004 05:37:00 PM
Wow, quite breathtaking! I'm not sure that I feel this is "silent" but it's an excellent shot and worth showing to everyone.
03/05/2004 05:19:18 PM
this picture is fantastic. but not silent.
03/05/2004 02:21:31 PM
Wow, this is very loud!
03/05/2004 11:29:12 AM
For some reason I don't think when you took this shot it was silent at all, those birds must have been squwaking like crazy, other than that the photo is excelent, don't think it fits this catigory, maybe should have entered it in the free March study. 5
03/05/2004 06:52:39 AM
I don't think these birds would be silent.
03/05/2004 04:08:47 AM
i dont imagine it was silent at this moment, nice image, not quite silent 5
03/04/2004 07:48:21 PM
Not sure there's silence here.
03/04/2004 06:28:39 PM
Really cool composition, but I didn't score it high because it doesn't say "silence" to me. Sea Gulls are loud when they're fighting for food and you're obviously in a motor boat...nice shot though...
03/04/2004 03:10:07 PM
This is a super-cool shot. It would be worth entering in the march challenge if you're allowed. Very cool action shot.
03/04/2004 02:11:22 PM
This is an amazing capture; not one that conveys silence, to me.
03/04/2004 01:29:04 PM
Silence was the challenge. The shot is interesting but conveys noisey birds, boat and waves.
03/04/2004 10:22:01 AM
This is a cool photo.....It definitely does NOT convey silence. I "hear" those wings flapping and birds cawing as well as the water.
03/04/2004 10:10:33 AM
how is it silence??
03/04/2004 05:37:37 AM
That looks anything but silent!
03/03/2004 07:42:09 PM
This is a terrific shot, but better for the theme of noise!
03/03/2004 07:18:00 PM
Can't help but think of this shot as noisy, given the wake left behind by the boat. Either way, great catch You and the bird! :)
03/03/2004 05:54:40 PM
How does this relate to silence?
03/03/2004 04:01:27 PM
How in the world does this fit the challenge?
nice action shot though.
03/03/2004 12:35:07 PM
Nice shot though it looks pretty noisy to me
03/03/2004 11:27:16 AM
I'm going to have to say that seagulls are some of the most UN-silent creatures I know of...
03/03/2004 08:06:22 AM
Wow.... Must have taken some time to get it so cool,,,,,
Amazing photo but I think many people won´t see silence her... 8
03/03/2004 07:31:30 AM
how are birds silent?
03/03/2004 06:38:28 AM
Nice action catch. However, I couldn't get where the silence is since all birds should be screaming for food at that moment.
03/03/2004 04:10:47 AM
Great action shot! Full of motion and vibrancy, the moterboat wake, the flashing feathers and the popcorn jumping out of your hand. I love the way the yellow of the popcorn sets off the blue. The only thing it's missing is.......a lack of implied noise
03/03/2004 01:49:23 AM
Crazy shot.. I love it. I wish it were more... silent. I shouldn't score you this well, but 8.
03/03/2004 01:04:24 AM
Does Alfred Hitchcock know about this plagiarism? LOL very good shot. Not sure we see Silence in this shot.
