A very beautiful sunset! The yellow really comes through, good job! I like the crop particularly, and it was good leaving the dark part at the bottom. The rock on the right gives this photo that extra boost. You'll score high for this one.

Gorgeous! Well done! I would hang this on my wall. I really like the thin border with this. I think it really adds something to the shot. Beautiful! Definitely one of my favorites in this challenge and on the DPChallenge site so far.

""Very patient set up. The real waldo, too! Middle plane of focus may get you some focus comments. Did you do this for a reason (maybe to help "hide" your Waldo?)? But your background is so plain, Waldo still stands out plainly. Maybe more coins??? 7 Swash""

Thank you Swash, and your comment explained everything I needed to say on my picture. It was a confusing challenge for me. Just wanted to say that I can't see on the rule saying "You are supposed to put a "REAL PERSON" anywhere! In my language, person could mean anything including in the cartoon world or even animals for some occasions. The challenge title was "Where's Waldo?" Right? Also, I made Waldo out of focus to hide him in the picture, so that he is meant be out of focus... I leant a lot from this challenge, and I will try more simple, and undarstandable shots from now on!! lol!!

Well, I think I still like this one, and the cropping I did was a bit wrong and more coins definitely would have made it better... Well, I really enjoyed taking this picture! Yes, was quite annoying to stand the coins up... They kept fallen down, and made me crazy!!

Anyway, I don't want to be rude, just needed to defend myself a bit this time... Thank you all for all the votes and comments, and let's have fun on next challenge!!
