Silence is a state of mind as much as anything else. For me, absense of sound is uncomfortable. Pleasant sounds equate to a peaceful state of mind... an opportunity to reflect and meditate...

All your photos are so well composed, with tremendous attention to detail. Nothing out of place. This is no exception; the rocks in the foreground and sharp trees behind; they create a subtle harmonious backgroung to the subject. Fantastic.
Gorgeous. But doesn't say silence to me. White noise is more like it... Or the sound of a heavy rain, but not silence. One of my favorite of the challenge but my score for it won't show it unfortunately...

I LOVE this photo so much! But... ... to me, it doesn't fit the challenge. I think "roar" not "silence" when I look at your photo. So, it gets lower score for the challenge, but darn it this is a good picture!
Beautiful picture. I like it in B & W. I don't get the feeling of silence here. It makes me imagine the sound of the rushing water. Its so nice though I can't resist giving it a good score even thought it doesn't necessarily satisfy the theme. Too bad you couldn't have entered this one in another contest it deserves a 9 or 10.
Nice use of foreground rocks to partially frame image. I like the luminescent quality of the white water. I do find the sky very bland and, although it would change the proportions of the image, I personally prefer less of that sky/ bare tree line included. 7
