 I wanted to do a sign language shot, but this is what I decided to use instead. I made this Snowman today and suddenly thought of the challenge...silence. What would the world be like without words or without a mouth?!? What's that you say?

Think it would be better if you had framed the entire snowman. It gave me a chuckle though.

I get it. No ears, right?

Haha, very funny, and great color contrast. Try to have bokeh background next time, it steals my focus from the snowman.

Comic. Like the colors of the trees in the background. Maybe they would have been still nicer if they had a litle more sunshine on (but then you´d probably have more of burned out snow or what?).

I think this image would have benefitted from shallower depth of field. burring the background would make the snowman pop as a subject and remove the tree as a competing visual element

The trees in the background along with the scarf really make this shot. Noticing he/she doesn't have a mouth conveys the silence. OK shot.

The snowman against the snow is too white-on-white. 3.
