"The sky was the color of a television tuned to no channel," said William Gibson ... but really it's the sound of a television tuned to no channel that many of us are more familiar with.
Ok, so it got down to the wire and I had nothing to submit. :-> But it was a decent try. I'm away from my usual editing tools, so I know it's pixely and weird and uck, but it's a submission, darnit. I will prophesy: final score in the low 4s. :-> Hope I'm wrong, but don't seriously think so.

This definately meet the challenge as it portrays "White Noise" beyond fitting the challenge there isn't a lot to say about it. I tend to agree with the comments left behind it is just to dark and not all that interesting.
You would have improved greating if the lighting was a little strong and crop in more on just the picture from the tv.
I did read your comment and I know the feeling too it just sucks to not have a submission! You did a pretty good critique of it too. Nice try on a last minute attempt and as someone said in the comments...nice experiment. I agree cause it could work if it weren't so dark.
While this picture does bring, at least to this third shifter, the feeling of sound, I don’t really find it appealing. Sorry just my opinion. I gave it a 4

Okay! Yes, this definitely meets the challenge. The clutter on the left is a little distracting, as is the doorway. The TV actually having a visible antenna is good emphasis the subject, although, heh, you may not have had a choice there (I used to think I was the last person in the wired world without cable, but maybe I was mistaken). (Also, I have it now.) (Well, directTV, and it's not like you care about this at all, but I got 2 hours of sleep, which tends to make for the occasional bizarre comments.)
Anyhow. Cropped to get rid of the left clutter would lose you part of the antenna, so I suppose I'd recommend a slightly different angle for a bit more impact, but overall I like the idea.
