beautiful composition and color. The candle in the foreground could use a bit more focus.

Thanks again for the comments. I wasn't thrilled with this entry, and probably would have given it a 5 myself, so I'm pleased that's where it ended up. I'm going to play with the image to see if I can clean it up some more. If it had been advanced editing, I would have probably cloned out many of the distracting branches in the three and tried to sharpen waldo and his bench a little as well as cloned out some of the snow on the hill.

Simply lovely. The foliage sweeps down and spews off Waldo. Bumping up.

Nice capture but IMO it would of looked better in B&W. I copied your picture and tried it in PS and waldo does not stand out as much but still visible. Also the blue jacket and jeans along with the green bench is distracting. Still a good capture.

Oooh, too bad the "Waldo" and the bench are blurry. It's such a great picture otherwise.

The figure stands out through the colour contrast. What an amazing tumble of gold.

Bowl Full of Happiness

Comment by eqsite:
Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I guess the consensus is that I should have cropped out the edges of the bowl. Ironically, my first take on this was a much closer view of just the face, but it seemed too boring to me. So I chose the wider view. Nevertheless, I'm quite pleased with the voting. Thanks!
