 Wasn't planning on shooting for this challenge. Yesterday I went out behind the house planning on getting some hay role sunset shots. They had all been moved. Then I spotted this tree. I've been wanting to do some tree shots like this for a LONG time but had no idea where a lone tree was - well one that didn't have distractions around it. Who knew I had the perfect tree practically in my back yard.
I'll probably get beat up over DNMC but that's OK - it's a beautiful shot.

slightly adjusted saturation, exposure and contrast
cloned out some sensor dust

Just as I suspected; lots of folks don't see this as sound. But the more I think on it....silence is a sound.

Sorry, but in my opinion, silence is the complete lack of sound, and thus this isn't meeting the challenge. This is a nice photo with good colors though.

The title sums it up. I'm getting absolutely no sense of sound from this. Only silence. Nice shot though, but I'll be knocking a couple of point off for my perceived DNMC.

I hear birds so it's not silent. Good image and imagination.

Beautiful! I love where the clouds sit and how the eye falls to the focus of the tree. However, not sure if it applies to the challenge.

Very clever but I see wondrous lines and great composition without that noise factor that I am looking for. If the tree falls in this photo will I be able to hear the crash? I like the composition and the off center placement of the tree. The three cloud spots make the photo fabulous as do the three protruding trunks. I'm not sure if I like or dislike the fact that you left so little dark surface at the bottom of your photo. I love it but can't hear a sound.

I'm sorry -- this doesn't convey sound, imo. It's more like the absence of sound. (not voting right now)

This conveys the opposite to me.

Seems pretty quiet here?

Beautiful picture, but too obscure to the Challenge.
