Comment by SDW:
Your subject is not a very good photogenic subject but I like the play on humor. Nice colors on a good smooth background. Seeds kind of out of focus. Subject [Not the meaning] is bland. I give it a high average because you did a good job on lighting and focus with humor [5]. Good luck in the challenge.

I love the rough stone texture contrasted with the slick bricks, combined with the light.

Nice picture! Like the light coming through the shadows. Where was this taken? Though waldo isn't hidden too well, its a very nice shot.

Hey kiddo let me know if this works, and perhaps you will send me the formula! Nice colors and composition and good details, and a good imagination! I think I would like to see this shot cropped more, my only complaint. Good luck in the challenge.

I see, your comments make the link to the mechanical theme much clearer. However, those things should be clear without descriptions. If the screws, hinges etc are what makes the picture fit the challenge, they should be easier to see. It's hard to see the hinges, and even harder to see the screws. It's perfectly okay to move in a challenge's grey area, but when you have a special approach to a challenge, make it clear to the voter. If I had understood your pint of view, I'd have given you a 6 instead of a four. I hope this helps.

Nice composition, but off the theme.

The angle is a little harsh, but the color is wonderful
