Very romantic composition. You might want to desaturate the magenta to get the odd color from the man's fingernails.

Critque Club:

Meets the Challenge: Well done! I love the way the water "points" to "waldo" "helping" us find him!

Composition: Good. Excellent timing of the shot and the pose is perfect for partially showing the man.

Technical Quality: Well done. Image clear enough considering the difficulty of shot. No post-processing problems noted. I wonder what this shot would have looked like with a slower shutter speed so the water didn't look so much like fireworks??

Creativity: Excellent. Not another shot like it in the challenge, for sure.

Overall Conclusion: Great photo, not much to criticize, for sure.

If you have questions, feel free to write. Sorry I didn't have much different than other people noted below.

Very nice, the expression on "Waldo's" face makes the shot. The shot seems a little yellow or orange but excellent nonetheless.

Very grainy, but beautiful in its own way. I love the colours. I can see it's a cheese grater, but that looks like a face or a mask at the top. I can't stop seeing it that way. I like it.

Fairly nice job of hiding Waldo. I would have prefered if he had been hidden more by the water and less by the dark. But you did a good job of hiding his body with the water, so I'll give you that. But it took the dark to hid his head. I'm torn on that.

Amen! Thank you! Beautiful and well done. They appear to have been married 25 years and here's to 25 more. One of my top 3 picks.
