Contrasts are too extreme. The branch on the left distracts more than frames the picture.

NO WAKE is quite a bit different than NO NOISE with regards to boating. However, your photo would have worked GREAT if you could have captured someone/yourself snoozing beneath/in front of the sign, making a visua connection/gag that the NO WAKE sign now doubles as a "DO NOT DISTURB" request for the happily snoring person.

Nice idea. If the wind was still it would have been a nicer shot.-7

photo is a little blurred, not sure if it could stand alone without title and convey silence.

Good idea to take advantage of a sign. I would only say that there's significant blowout along the left side, and the lack of a clear edge on the logs blends them with the water a bit too much. I like, however, how the branches frame the shot. Nice touch.

I think a good idea, just that the colors are somewhat flat and washed out from the light reflections.
