This is definately noisy. I think it fits in with the challenge very nicely.
I do think though that something is missing. something to grab my attention and hold it here. I'm not really seeing anything that is too exciting.
The angle and framing/cropping appear to be ok. You captured it so it looks noisy, and I think that had you not taken this from a little 'from above' angle, i don't think it would have worked as well to portray sound.
The overall blurriness is not working for me. I realize that you did it to give the impressin that the water was moving, and it did that well, but I do wish SOMETHING were in focus. Even if it were just the 'sea foam' stuff that were in focus. Anything really. Something to draw our attention to.
I find the little angled streaks near the bottom left to be a bit distracting. They are brighter than the background they are on, and stand out a lot. They look like little stray drops of moving water.
Anyway, good shot for sound.

The action of this shot does imply sound quite nicely. Nice composition and sense of motion.

totally meets the challenge but there just isn't really a great point of interest in the shot and the water itself just isn't holding my attention well enough.

I like the texture in this

Heh, I almost went out to take a photo of a fountain, so I definitely agree falling water is evocative of sound. Something about the photo looks odd -- I suspect in part the lack of colour. Inasmuch as seeing the foam swirl is nice, the clear falling water seems blurry, which is probably related.

Perhaps with this waterfall, instead of using a prolonged exposure, you could have captured the exact splash effect with a very quick shutter speed. This makes it just look out of focus to me.

10 for concept, 9 for execution: 9 overall. :-> I hear the photo (which is my major grading criteria for this contest), and it's an appealing image overall. I liked this one a lot better than the other water shots, because it feels 'noisier', somehow.
