Trash in the background is distracting. Excellent action capture.

probably could have done without this shot.. but, the detail is good, focus is good.. just not a real pleasant subject matter.. depth of field is great.. definately left me silent tho..

Cal lme cynical, but it seems like you had a good shot of a snake eating mouse, then tried to add a title to fit it in with this weeks challenge.. 5

Of COURSE he's silent - he was taught not to speak with his mouth full...

Great photo, but, I think I hear the mouse screaming? This could have won "Conflict" but just doesn't make me think of silence.

Ugh. I hate the photo, but I love it at the same time. It's a great photo in the sense of the clarity and the moment you caught it. But I hate it, because I'm a girl and I'm a wimp when it comes to these things. 8.

hmmmmm... well.... the lighting isn't too dynamic, a little grotesqu, but i guess i can live with it. good exposure though on the white of the mouse. and good use of DOF

i understand the concept but being eaten seems like there would crunching and sqealing, doesn't convey silence w/o title.

gruesome in a way but a wonderful capture, too bad you couldn't have thrown the background even more out of focus...certainly meets the challenge for silent hunting and silennt act
