The lighting in this image is first class & the solemnity of the location conveys silence beautifully.

I like the images that have attempted to convey the sense of silence - not by what is included in the image but by what is excluded. I think this image does this really well. A tighter crop - with just the horse and the seat might also have been as effective. Well done.

This is one of the very few images I have seen in this challenge that has actually succeeded in conveying the silence of a deserted space. I put this down to the excellent use of light and the mono conversion. Well done.

Beautiful image. I like what this image represents - the absence of water screams "silence" to me in a very clever, subtle way (can you subtly scream??).

It is what is not in the image that so cleverly elevates this image out of the run of the mill.

IMHO this image (as beautiful as it is) does not strictly represent "silence" per se. I feel as though it is a very well composed landscape - that could easily fit more comfortably into a dozen other catagories. I note however, have found that my voting in this challenge has tended to be skewed towards clever and interesting "concepts" more than the quality of the images themselves.

Very nice image. I did find the holes (?) in the wall to be slightly distracting (they almost look like full stops to the unspoken exhortation for silence)

Grin And Bear The Silence

There is something slightly disturbing about this image. The stubbby fingers of the hand contrast with the beautiful feminine blue eye.

Really nice portrait. I like the composition & the emotion conveyed by the models face is amazing. Nice work (I'm sure this photo will do well)

I really like the concept here & think that the execution is good. But I do get the feeling that creating a sense of movement may have helped.
