 It seemed like I spent most of an afternoon chasing flies to land any pictures. Not only were they skittish but they also seemed to have an uncanny ability to see the flash coming and would jump right as I pressed the shutter.

good shot but I do not understand, in my modest opinion, the link with the silence, at least not so clear.
