Challenge: Silence II (Basic Editing)

 Girl: I had such a great time
Guy: Me too, we should do this again. I'll call you.

And Girl waits, repeatedly checking the phone, naive, while it remains silent in her hand.


...maybe it's not perfect. Some could say she seems more stood up than waiting for her phone to ring. Either way i think the idea sort of works because standing up someone is canceling without giving word.

I got it, and thought it would do much better than it did. Nice shot, I like the red of the couch against the green background.

How does this symbolize silence?

The title "Waiting for his call" and the image of a girl seated on a couch looking at her mobile phone does little to convey to me a feeling of silence. 5

I like the picture and the concept. I feel like something should be different. Maybe the subject should be a little more off center, or the shot should be more close up. I like it, but I don't love it.

no reason to wait -- get on with it--nice concept but somewhat contrived.

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