well, as earplugs go, it's a fine pair... that was the positive part of my comment... whether or not this picture conveys silence doesn't really matter... it has no appeal... there is nothing here to hold my interest... 2.
Ok. Why BW, it lacks impact in context. Are these earplugs for use in a high noise environment, shooting a gun or listening to music? Add more contrast between the foreground and background. 4
Strangely appealing, excellent composition - feels so balanced. Nice use of light and DOF. Great abstract, though using recognisable items which clearly relate to challenge theme.
