And the winner is... marie, for "the silence of the dead."
I could feel the stillness within this shot. I usually don't like graveyard shots (they're hard to do without shooting a cliche) but the quality of the light, fog, and dew (or frost?) on the grass elevates this image to something more ethereal. I also like the negative space in the center of the photo, which captures the concept of silence. Nice work! Did you do much processing, or did the light look this way?
Honorable Mentions:
Nice lines: nutsnbolts - untitled
Top titular tongue-twister: MegaTrixel - The Silent Slime of a Sitka Slug
Best creative interpretation: IainB - Silence of the Lamb
Thanks for playing! Happy Holidays. -- Kimmer
Challenge #149 - Silence
Show me a moment or a place that portrays silence. Could also be a symbol or a creative interpretation of the concept.
