Comment by Beetle:
Oh heck, this is tough to score! You're totally in the spirit of the Wally books, yet totally ignoring the challenge description (the bit about the "otherwise personless photo"!) I'll have to think about this one a bit longer.
That issue aside, I don't think you should have bothered about partially desaturating the crowd - the red/white clothes would have been just fine.

This is great. When I think of Where's Waldo, I don't see him hidden in a "person-less" image as such (even though that's what this challenge called for), I picture this sort of set up. I hope you aren't being hit too hard by dnmc'ers. Good luck!

Ooh, you might get slammed so bad having a lot of people in the shot, but it's more in keeping with the real Waldo illustrations, and great idea to have "Waldo" *look* like Waldo! Good job!

I'm another fan of this one and really expected to see it very near the top. Perfectly composed, great texture and light, and a lovely sense of play and mystery.

Well, technically DNMC, but I always thought the rules should allow for this shot (given the name of the challenge!) so I'll vote it as such.

You've done a good just of emphasizing the subject; one could argue whether that's a good thing for this challenge. Points for daring to go for the classic!

Genuine Waldo colours . . very good. Only a pity he was so close to the camera and dead centre of the image.

Congratulations on such a high score. What happened to the "Rule" of thirds? :-) I like the DOF, making right background more blurred.

You took your image straight out of the idea of the book series. Unfortunately, it doesn't follow the rules of THIS challenge: "Hide a person in your otherwise person-less photo."

I very much get the feeling of seeing the back side of something. this easily meets the challenge, regardless of one's theories of shadow anatomy. :) and not only that, it's a beautiful, mysterious image. I love it.
