I think the make up is really effective - except - the whites of her eyes are too white.

Her face (excepting the eyes) really give a sense of fear. It is a shame that something couldn't have been done to redden those eyes (a bit of chilli maybe lol)

This is a landscape with a difference - it actually fits the theme!!! Hurrah.

Those boding storm clouds just do it for me. Hope you do well

Sorry. They just don't fit the challenge for my mind.

Nice one though

Any landscape photo omitting a human element could as easily be "sold" as representing "silence". I just don't think that it is in the spirit of the challenge. Sorry.

Btw I should say I have made this comment (or a variation on the theme) on every landscape (there are so many of them) that I could.

All that aside it is a really nice image - with a simple but effective composition.

It is the swing in the piccture that really represents silence to me - yet it is barely noticeable as a result of the sheer size of that gorgeous tree. Still a nice image. I like it

You have the right to remain silent.

A great concept. The right to silence is so obvious (now) & yet you have communicated it beautifully.

I think this image captures a sense of personal reflection (the spiritual kind not the water). But I also think that the same effect could have been achieved with a closer crop (perhaps omitting some of the trees).

Someone once said that "assassination is the most extreme form of censorship" - I guess this image fits in with that theme. I might be wrong but there does seem to be a bit of a blown highlight on the left side of the noose. Nice concept though - original but germane to the theme.
