I'm sorry, but I don't think this meets the challenge. I obviously have a different interpretation from you (otherwise I don't think you would've submitted it), but I thought the challenge description was quite clear. Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only one telling you. Let me give you some feedback on your picture, anyway. You photographed a busy scene with lots of people walking in all sorts of direction. I would review the edges of the photo to see if it can be cropped a little differently. For example, the person in the bottom left could easily be cropped out w/out loosing anything from the photo, but making it look a little more planned. I like the building in the background and how the trees on either side of the photo frame it. Overall, it seems to be slightly tilted, so you might want to rotate your photo just a tad. Lastly, you have some nice repeating colors (red) in your photo that tie things together. Overall, your colors are rather muted though. Increasing saturation in post-processing a bit does wonders for that.

Looks a little overexposed in the upper areas and the image could be sharper with better focus. Nice idea for the challenge, though.

Points off because the challenge was to have one person hidden in an otherwise personless photo which this obviously is not. Also poor resolution makes it blurry.

I am assuming your "waldo" is the person getting the shoe shine? Too many people to be really clear on this. Photo is a little dim, colorwise and focus isn't fully sharp. 6 Swash

This isn't a peopless photo, I can see lots of people, check out the challenge description again. I am not really sure what you focused on in this shot, there is no real main focal theme. And by the way what is a "bootblack"? I tried to look in the dictionary but couldn't find it anywhere.

Does not meet challenge - only supposed to be one person.
