This is slightly clever, keep trying.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition: For the most part, I like the composition. You've got nice dynamic lines that keep the eye in the image. I think that perhaps the dark three dimensional object that grows out of focus as it gets nearer the camera is a bit too prominent in the image, however. Perhaps with greater depth of field, if the entire object was sharp and in focus, it wouldn't be so distracting. It keeps distracting me from the interesting details and textures of the wet paper. I do, however, like the monotone feel of the image.

Challenge: I'm not sure that this says "silence" to me - it invokes the feeling of an urban street, which I associate with noise.

Camera Work: Very nice - sharp where it needs to be, appears to have been taken using a tripod. Exposure is very good, excellent tonal range that would also make it work well as a toned image or black and white.

My Opinion: Overall, I like this image. Particularly the feeling of dampness - it's a very "arty" shot. I can see it as part of a series hanging in a gallery.

I like the sodden, abandoned papers. Although the textures and lines of the surrounding paving and bin are interesting I think I'd prefer to see a closer study of that fascinating texture within the main subject - I'd like to see an image zooming in on that detail.

I am mot sure that I understand your intent with this image - I hope that it will be clear in your comments about the image

Don't get the meaning of this. The black block seems distracting. If the old newspapers are the subject, I would like to be closer. Perspective seems a bit odd as well. Interesting shot.

And the silence goes to... What? Where are the silence? You can say: It´s there, you can hear something? LOL!

Silent or wet? Wet is my first thought, then I'm wondering what's under there that sticks out?

I really didn't understand this one

Love the idea of the old newspaper which normally would convey so many 'voices' now laying silent. But the stone [?] on the left takes over a bit too much of the focus. 5.
