This is a neat take on the challenge, and I like the use of the bright hat to emphasize that you know we see your "Waldo" here. Cute expression, and some nice plays of light across the green leaves. The appearance of the blue flowers toward the back adds a nice touch.

Waldo in the Kitchen

Great idea, and I think the final result works well with the subject. Inside, in a kitchen, just the eyes showing. I like it. I might have put the other two hats in the same line as the Waldo hat (maybe putting them on your hands?), but otherwise I think the whole look of this serves it well.

Down by the River
by Hipychik

Comment:
Something about the colors here really draws me in; they're soft, almost desaturated, but a bit harsh and yellowish. I like the contrast that brings to me, and the feel that where I am behind these trees is cool and shady and the other side of the river is hot and sunny. Definitely brings to mind a lazy summer day. I might have moved the trees out of the center of teh image, but given the purpose I think it works okay here.

Everyone back on the bus!

I like the use of the slow shutter here to capture so many Waldos but to not really capture any of them; the effect with the flag is excellent, as well. The ghostly people around a monument like this, in soft, night lighting, works really well. Nicely shot.

Cool image that makes for a nice abstract, with the tones and subtle colors dominating the appearance. The lighting isn't always flattering, especially toward the top, but given the harshness of rocks like these, and the hardness of those who climb them, seems an appropriate choice of processing to me. Nicely shot.

Bearries. I see Bearries in the bush

I imagine you're getting killed for this (everyone wondering where Waldo is and focused on the bear), but it's such a great capture. I hope Waldo is out of sight and inching slowly away, mama bear is sure to be nearby! Great capture and presentation here, though the brightness of the bark is a bit distracting when I look for too long (which I keep doing because the bear is so cute!).

He's Cleaning the Garage (?!)

What a cluttered workshop, and the image captures that feel perfectly. Delightful tones and shades in this, and the beer is the perfect touch. Excellent choice on how much of Waldo to show us, though I might have shifted the feer a bit to the left (maybe, maybe not - how's that for definite advice?). Nice shot.

No, it isn't Mao...

I really like this shot; the muted tones, matching both on the lower wall and on the upper columns, give the image a sense of cohesiveness for me, one that seems to fit with my idea of China's communist theology. I love that you've chosen a person who almost could have been one of the white pots (or whatever they are), and whose appearance comes close to those things. I might have tried this with the person offset a bit (making Mao a bit offset, as well), but that might not have worked. Interesting image, well presented.

Child Of The Corn

Comment:
Nicely shot for the challenge, and I like that you put extra effort into the theme (by coloring the child's face). As an image alone, aside from the challenge, it doesn't hold much interest for me, though it does present a unique perspective that I haven't seen before. Moving "Waldo" out of the center might have helped to my eye, not to hide him, but to place him on a natural focal point while hiding him with color and the corn. Overall an effective image for the challenge, well conceived and shot.

On the Harbor

Such a confluence and convergence of lines, shapes and colors here make this a difficult image for me to get to grips with. I was somewhat overwhelmed each time I looked at it, searching for a focus, but if I accept that that is the purpose -- to overwhelm the viewer with conflicts within the image, perhaps with a view to hiding Waldo -- then I must admit it does this very well. All the pieces are there, nicely exposed, with good use of depth of field, and composed to achieve this end.
