Comment by beckydi:
The background could be a little more interesting or not as much of the picture.

Comment by Tortsman:
Any landscape photo omitting a human element could as easily be "sold" as representing "silence". I just don't think that it is in the spirit of the challenge. Sorry.

Btw I should say I have made this comment (or a variation on the theme) on every landscape (there are so many of them) that I could.

All that aside it is a really nice image - with a simple but effective composition.

Whilst I get the idea behind your shot I find it holds little interest and is rather mundane. I feel you would have gotten better results already if you had included some part of the horizon and more of the tree in your shot. 4

I can see what you're trying to convey, but chopping the tree off like this leads my eye downward out of the image.

This is very lovely, I feel that if it was cropped like an inch more, on the left side it would be ten times better. But Im kind of a cropping freak (X
Very nice photo nonetheless. Good job.

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

Such a great image, perfect sharpness, texture and colors, especially the eye.

a handsome dog - but the details in the face appear compromised by the lighting

Great expression and angle of the dog just wish it hadn't been cut off at the chest - IMHO
