Looks like the woods from Hansel and Gretel :-) Is there a house made of candy out the back there? I like the angle you took this shot with the path leading off into the distance - 8.

This is just another beautiful place, but the photo is boring. Nothing says, "I'm not just pretty, I'm special."

Meeting the Challenge: I would say a 10 here, even though Waldo's right up front, he was hard for me to spot with my ADD and 50 year old eyes!

Composition: I do see some apprppriate use of thirds in the composition. Nice contrast and use of b.w. I think there were pro's and cons of including all of the truck. It is obvious what it is, without the picture being real long and full of sky and snow.

Technical Quality: If this hadn't been the hiding waldo challenge, I would have liked to have seen this shot more exposed or differently lit. No obvious post-processing problems noticed. The focus seems to be a bit better on the snow than it is on the subject, or maybe the lighting just makes it seem that way.

Creativity: Good for a candid shot. Not a photo I would hang on my wall and show off (neither was my entry for this challenge ;%)

Conclusion: Challenge very well met, photo could have been more exciting.

Hope this helps, if you have questions, please feel free to email me.

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. :)

Hey you took the photo before Waldo before he got to his hiding place :-)) No, it is a good photo, especially in B/W to bring in more shadow for Waldo to hide in, but I bet that sky is soooo blue right? Nice composition, good job.

could be better if the whole truck is seen
