Very good I like it... Maybe a little too much green tho. Should have softened that. Plus the oversaturation of yellow blew out the detail too much I think. It's still good. 7.

Hi Matthes

FIRST IMPRESSION:
nice tonal value

COMPOSITION:
nice enough. I am not too crazy about it looking like it's floating, other than that i sits nice on the frame and the background is very interesting. :)

TECHNICAL:
Your lighting works great on this shot. In fact, IMO, it's perfect. Your DOF sets i nice mood on the shot bringing the attention to the leaf without losing too much of the background. Nice job. :)

ARTISTIC:
I think this shot would have done much better in a different challenge. The interpretation I have of a flower cliche is a 'in your face' full color macro. I think you lost marks by making it sepia tone. BUT don't get me wrong, I think it's a great macro, just not for this challenge. :)

OVERALL:
I superb technically executed shot, that turned out very nice, but maybe just didn't fit in with the challenge.

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges. :)

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 :)

Is it my imagination or do I also see Waldo in the top right corner looking through a small hole? If I do see him, that is a better job of hiding Waldo than the obvious one. And to me it was not to be that obvious. This is a wonderful photo with great texture to the tree bark, just not what was really to be the challenge. But that's just my opinion. Otherwise this is a wonderful photo.

I really like the texture and lighting of the trees, especially the green one on the left.

Nice photo, Waldo found hidden, but not too hidden. Not alot of visual impact. Glare is at a minimum, nicely done. Color seems pretty good. 7 Swash
