I like the "shapes" in this - the triangle within her bent arm and face, the oval of her face, the checkered print shirt. Her eyes looking upwards certainly make me think that she is focused on what's going on in her head - we often look upwards when thinking. Expression on her face good too. Don't like textured surface of background wall at all though.
I like the framing/composition of your shot. Good capture of emotion. The theme is silence, but the very title of your photo makes me think there IS no silence for this poor girl. I think your shot would have worked well for another challenge, but SILENCE just doesn't seem to due it justice. Keep it up! :)
well placed image, good tear stains, the light at the top is a bit bothersome, and for me, it is the antithesis of silence because you are capturing an inner turmoil and silece implies some measure of peace
