Waldo at Water: A Study in Leisure

I like the fact that the umbrella is blue, that way it adds to Waldo himself. otherwise it would've been a too dark silhouette.

Why this photo?

Because this really feels like I'm getting a peek inside your life. And that life seems so different then mine, not only because we're on the other side of the world.
I think this photo is one of the things you do best: seeing the moment, snap a photo and do that really good. Ofcourse I've been checking your portfolio, and I see more of these moving candids there. Being there at the right moment.. You know I admire you for that. It's something I can't do, but really should practice ;)
Black and white seems to be your thing at the moment, but that could also be because of the 30 days project you've been working on. It suits you, and you're doing a fine job with it.

The other side of Lisa?

Seeing the still-lifes, outside. Looking at the world, absorbing every detail and try to see the photo in these details. I think when you're holding your camera and walking around, you're using all your senses to be sure you've got that photo. Composition is a big issue in your portfolio, I can see you take the time to do the right thing, to get that compo work flawless.

What to improve?

I think you also rock in the "studio-still-lifes". I've seen a couple (premature, Gape, earth child), but I think you should really develop in that part of photography. You have the eye and you have the creativity, I'm absolutely positive about that. I hope you'll take my advice and try it!

I am so happy we made this team together (YOU came up with the idea and members to invite! ;)) AND very glad I got to know you a bit more. You are one of a kind. And damn right you'll be in the team next season!

:D

I didn't vote, so maybe I have no right to speak, but the technical quality of this one isn't very good IMO... lots of noise, bad focus. Things that PS can't always save ;)

Congratulations anyway ;)
