Silence is a state of mind as much as anything else. For me, absense of sound is uncomfortable. Pleasant sounds equate to a peaceful state of mind... an opportunity to reflect and meditate...

All your photos are so well composed, with tremendous attention to detail. Nothing out of place. This is no exception; the rocks in the foreground and sharp trees behind; they create a subtle harmonious backgroung to the subject. Fantastic.

Gorgeous. But doesn't say silence to me. White noise is more like it... Or the sound of a heavy rain, but not silence. One of my favorite of the challenge but my score for it won't show it unfortunately...

I've never known a waterfall to be quiet. Nice photo though.
03/09/2004 05:42:35 PM
Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.

This is a beautiful landscape shot but it really doesn't convey silence to me, probably because waterfalls normally aren't silent ; P

Very nice photo, fits challenge well, but really has been done a thousand times over.5.
03/08/2004 06:07:14 PM
Solid photograph, but waterfalls don't really say "silence"...
03/08/2004 04:39:51 PM
I LOVE this photo so much! But... ... to me, it doesn't fit the challenge. I think "roar" not "silence" when I look at your photo. So, it gets lower score for the challenge, but darn it this is a good picture!
03/08/2004 12:07:28 AM
nice picture but not exactly silence..
03/07/2004 02:29:07 PM
good picture, but does not give the feeling of silence
03/07/2004 04:57:42 AM
Moving water cannot be silent. Try a higher iso and/or faster shutter speed if possible.
03/07/2004 01:43:42 AM
Beautiful picture. I like it in B & W. I don't get the feeling of silence here. It makes me imagine the sound of the rushing water. Its so nice though I can't resist giving it a good score even thought it doesn't necessarily satisfy the theme. Too bad you couldn't have entered this one in another contest it deserves a 9 or 10.

Nice use of foreground rocks to partially frame image. I like the luminescent quality of the white water. I do find the sky very bland and, although it would change the proportions of the image, I personally prefer less of that sky/ bare tree line included. 7

Such a beautiful place. The B&W really makes this photo... 10
03/06/2004 06:56:18 AM
black silence & white noise?
03/05/2004 07:15:48 PM
The waterfall on the lower left is a little washed out, but this is an excellent B&W
03/05/2004 06:19:44 PM
lovely.
03/05/2004 02:20:39 PM
This is a very lovely photo, but I "hear" the water making quite a bit of noise - not silence.
03/05/2004 01:12:27 PM
Lovely photo, but waterfalls are not really all that "silent".
03/05/2004 12:30:31 PM
I love these long-exposure waterfall shots. The border was a good choice, as was black and white.
03/04/2004 12:14:33 PM
I don't get a sense of silence from the water falling. This is a nice photo, but I don't see it meeting the challenge. 6

I love the sound a waterfall makes. The black & white works well in this picture. I would like to see the color verson if there was one.
03/04/2004 07:56:08 AM
beautiful, but rushing water seems exciting and noisy
03/04/2004 06:57:42 AM
Nice shot, but my experience with waterfalls is not necessarily one of silence
03/03/2004 04:11:55 PM
I like your use of a slow shutter to smooth the flow of water. The soft light on the water also works well.
03/03/2004 10:25:33 AM
Very good composition and a nice exposure.

Good choice to have it in b&w.
03/03/2004 09:27:44 AM
I love the picture, but waterfalls are generally noisy. Still, it's beautiful.
03/03/2004 04:24:26 AM
Wonderful contrasts and composition. Good luck.
03/03/2004 04:22:14 AM
Very nice! 7
03/03/2004 03:03:21 AM
Afraid this does not evoke silence to me for obvious reasons. A technically proficient shot though.
03/03/2004 02:10:28 AM
Wonderful picture, but is water silent? Or rather calm and serene?
03/02/2004 10:35:18 PM
Pretty shot, nice balance between hard and soft, but I hear water when I look at this.
