Nicely executed image but it does not really convey a strong feeling of silence to me. 5

Your title put me in mind of two things:- A report several years ago that claimed plants "talk" to each other, and the book "Day of the Triffids" where the plants do talk to each-other.

As for the image, I like the tone of it as, although it's dark, that seems to fit the subject. My one objection is the petals "falling" upwards which make it a less pleasing image to look at.

I originally marked this low, because I was having a hard time with the flower pictures. They were pretty, but didn't say silence to me. A scene, like winter and a tree could work, because the scene could also be alive and loud with storms or wind. A flower is a flower.

that being said, I'm ranking it higher on second look, because you have made a point. flowers live and die without a sound. I'm leaving the other flower pictures as I originally rated them, because they didn't prove the point like you did.

This is a very intriguing photo on it's own and the title adds to that sense very well. The orientation feels odd to me as though the petals are falling up as the flower dies. I hope you'll share some of the concept behind the way you composed it this way. It certainly conveys a sense of silence to me and is among my favorites so far.

Really like this shot... I wish the light parts were a bit lighter, though.

Great colours, I would have preferred to see a greater DOF, to get a bit of chicken detail.

interesting colors and DOF is nice but the subject is too angled for me
