Machinery Everywhere But Where's Waldo

Challenge mt. Waldo looks like he's changing a tire, or doing something with the tires. Overall, I think the photo is a little dark (even though that does help you hide Waldo better). B&w was definitely necessary since I think Waldo might wear some really bright orange suit with white reflectors. LOL. Good catch to realize that could work for this challenge. :)

I've just spent some time looking through your photo, and I can't see anyone. Sorry. I'm wondering if you meant to submit this to the Perspective challenge and picked the wrong one by mistake or whether I need glasses. Unfortunately, that means the photo does not meet the challenge in my opinion. As for the photo itself, I like the red contrasting with the green, and your focus and sharpness if good, too. There isn't enough of a central focal point although one of the buds (the one close to the middle of the photo) could be it. Maybe isolating less leaves and one of those buds would've made this less busy and allowed the viewer to figure out easier what to focus on.

Nice infrared. And you've met the challenge, it isn't exactly hard to spot him on that bench, but it is a person in an otherwise person-less photo. I like the composition and the placement of your objects. The dark tree trunk against the (almost) white leaves is nice, and the guy on the bench is nicely framed by it. I'm not too sure about your choice of color, I think personally, I'd prefer a b&w approach, but I'd have to see it to be sure.

About 10 Feet Away

Hehe. Great idea, and title, and challenge met to boot (no pun intended ;). The diagonal running through this photo really leads the eye, the focus and DOF is good, too. I like this shot a lot already, but there are a couple of things that you can do that would make it even stronger IMO. Cropping. Crop out the right side just at the end of the wall. The stuff in the top right corner disappears, and, even more important, the line of shoes now seems to run on forever outside of the photo. To balance that, I would crop a bit of the left and bottom of your photo, too, so that the first shoe isn't fully visible. You won't be able to make it look like that line continues unless you crop a lot, but I don't think it's necessary.

Focus on Knowledge

Challenge met, even though it's not too hard to spot her behind the books. Engineering, huh? Your focus, and colors and technical aspects and all are fine for this shot. I know this is just a guidance and not a must, and sometimes meant to be broken, but personally I would prefer if the eye wan't place smackbang in the center of the photo. That way, that's really all you look at, if it was off-center, I think the viewer would "browse" the photo more, take in the different book titles, etc, more.

Where's Bin Laden?
by Jacko

Challenge met. I'm not sure whether I personally would've chosen Bin Laden, but it's certainly a name and face with notoriety and a large recognition factor. As for the photo, I like the composition with the flowers quite a lot, and the focus on the flowers is good, too, as is the DOF. I would've probably cleaned some of the leaves of the stems before placing the flowers to make the diagonal lines more simple. Your lighting is a little uneven, the white flower is a little bright in spots (although still acceptable, no real blow-out), and the red flower too dark. I wonder if adding light from the right would have evened this out a bit. I also would've used less of a frame (remove the one pixel white on the inside, and make the black thinner), but I realize frames are very much a personal taste thing. Overall, good job. :)

Catch Me If You Can

Challenge met. Not exactly difficult to find her, but met nonetheless. I like this photo a lot. I like the shape created by those two trees, and the texture and colors of them. Putting a face in the gap between the trees is just really clever and works well in the photo even outside of the challenge. The lighting on the right side of the photo is a little brighter than perfect, but nothing too distracting. I was re-reading some of the forum discussions on dodging and burning, this might be a good pic to try it on. Great entry :)

Woodland Clearing

Challenge met, she's leaning against the tree. The blue jacket gives it away ;) Compositionally, I like your photo a lot, all those slim tree trunks all slightly leavning in the one direction. I also like the one you included on the left, close to the viewer, that really gives the photo depth. I probably would've cropped a bit off the top, there's a lot of whitish sky that adds nothing to your photo with it's otherwise nicely saturated colors. Technically, I don't think this photo is as sharp and crisp as it could be. I'm not sure whether you are using a low-end camera that just won't do better with so much detail in the photo, or whether you compressed the photo too much during post-processing. With a detailed photo like this I'd expect you to use all of the available 150k to get the most sharpness.

There He Is... I See Him!!

Challenge met, he's walking his dog on the other side. I like your capture of the water, I wonder why it's so brown, lots of rain recently? The diagonal line through the photo by the dam is nice, too, you can kind of zig through the frame long it and zag back along the green and the path on the other side. I think the biggest single thing that you could do to further improve your photo is to crop out the sky. It is very bland and blown out and really just distracts from the photo. Cover it up with a piece of paper on your screen and see what you think. I feel it turns your shot into a very nice panorama-looking photo. :)

Was this supposed to be submitted to the "Perspective" challenge? Or do I totally not get it? Anyway, I'm sorry, but for me, this does not meet the challenge. But let me give you feedback on the photo itself anyway. Personally, I'm a fan of cat photos, btw, I have two at home and now how difficult it can be to get a close-up shot of them. :) Your color range is good, and the overall positioning in the frame, too, but you've cropped a little too close for my liking. I'd like to see all of the ears. Alternatively, crop so tight on the face that the ears aren't visible at all. Your focus is good, I think your cat has very nice eyes, would be even better if they were all the way open. The color in the photo, especially the white of the fur and the pink of the nose are very well exposed. Good job :)
