What about the rest of the face?
Or why not try another angle?
Your ear got a bit lost in the picture.

The ear cuts off too quickly on the edge that attaches to the head.

there is something profound going on here. Im not sure what it is. Is it sight or hearing that is the focus or neither? Mabe its the lack of both which keeps communications in the dark? thanks for the thinker. Good Luck!

Interesting title for an image of an ear. Many viewers willhave trouble relating this to the challenge topic but they will see the white specks on the black background around it and likely see those as distractions from the image. They should be removed.

Generally speaking the contrast and tonal range on this image is very good, but the couple small spots on the ear are overexposed. The strait line on the left side of the ear leaves open the question why the photographer chose to trim it that way. In any regard the image should be rotated counterclockwise to make it perfectly horizonatal.

i d prefer a less sharp transition from ear to background on the left
nevertheless a very original and good looking entry

interesting idea.....in the dark your hearing must guide you.....

Okay, so you see darkness as an ear. Just an ear. Named vision. I'm confused.

Great use of light and b&w, but I think I would have preferred it if the ear weren't cut off so abruptly. 7.
