Doesn't quite hit me with the idea of 'silence'. A basketball beneath the backboard would have helped, leaving me to ponder why the ball was there alone or what had interrupted the game. Nice attemp at framing the backboard with the two groups of trees on either side, but would have preferred if they were equal distance from the subject. You don't see too many real-life frames off-balance like this, if you know what I mean. ;) Good idea with potential. Keep it up!
It's a little hard to make out what that is on the pole, but it looks like a basketball hoop. I think it's a good idea, but the photo itself seems a little dark and you have to work to really make out what it is in the foreground. I like the mist.
This is really nice. I can feel the silence very much there. You got lucky with the fog... It makes it so much calmer. The pic itself is okey but for this theme it´s perfeckt convey of silent.
