Down by the Creek
by Wildcard

Comment:
An image that stands on its own, with great textures and colors in the trees (especially on the right); nicely composed, with soft colors in the sky that don't overpower the rest of the scene. Good placement for Waldo as part of the image, and not letting it drive all the creative decisions. Bumping this up to 8.

Let You're Eyes Take You To Him.

Comment:
Neat perspective here, with the curve of the road adding interest to the shot; the greens are a bit bright for me at points, but the soft focus makes it feel dreamy and light, almost as if I'm already drawn in and meandering down the road looking for Waldo.

Around the hill
by Nuzzer

Comment:
Lovely. Such wonderful shades of green, such a blue, blue sky, monument almost in complete shadow, but with details working to show through. Composition is spot on, makes me want to run up the road to "Waldo" and ask what's over the hill. Delightful. 8.

Wish you were here

Your image makes me wish I *was* there; delightful colors, wonderful exposure, good choice in meeting the challenge. Looks like he's on a cell phone, but even if he's a loud talker I still wish I was there! Excellent image, well captured. 8.

Waldo at Work

I love the way the pipes look like centipedes; lovely image, great lines, and good choice to meet the challenge. The greens here against the silver and gray pipes work really well. Nicely composed. Well done. 8.

In the Shadows

Great image. Dramatic, detailed, wonderful B&W tones and textures. Detail in the tower against the dark sky is brilliant. A very visually interesting image, with lots to see. Nicely done. 8.

Waldo´s Cottage
by Structor

Comment:
Great image, nice use of vignette to push our eyes to the house. The juxtaposition of the house with the hill looks good to me; almost as though these two things which we know are far apart somehow run together. Excellent colors and textures throughout. 8.

Graffiti Silo
by signal2noise

Comment:
An image that makes me wonder; what is this place? Is it abandoned, or used but unloved. Placement of Waldo is good, and makes me wonder what he's doing there. Something non-Waldo-ish, I imagine, from the look of the rest of the image. A little more depth in the sky might have given this more impact for me, but as is contributes nicely to the overall washed out feeling I get from the building. 8.

stating the obvious

I had already set this as an 8, but it's getting bumped up. It's just wonderful. Great greens set against the dark water and the grey paths, wonderful use of the reflection to meet the challenge (the least of my concerns here, but a plus in your case), and good use of lines to drive the eye around the image. 9.

Don't leave a rock unturned
by HighNooner

Comment:
Excellent choice for the challenge. Using a person turned around to "imitate" a rock was a good choice. The image here stands on its own, as well; it's a delightful scene in a wonderful location, and the processing and treatment you've given it do it justice. 8.
