Welcome to the Jungle

A good attempt at the "hiding in the greens" tack for this challenge, though a green shirt on Waldo might have been more effective. Lighting on the greens is pleasant, but there is not much to do here other than find Waldo.

Good beach shot, though it is largely without a solid focal point to my eye (I know, Waldo is the focal point, but not really in visual terms); even the lines here seem to run contrary to each other to a bit (the log points to a point on the shore that doesn't quite yet turn a corner, for example). Lighting is sufficient, and it suits the purpose of providing a puzzle in finding Waldo, but it does not reach me as an image on its own.

Looking for Andrew

A great tree, which to me is the focal point of the image, nicely framed and set out for us. The tree is a bit dark to my eyes, though; I might have liked to see a bit more texture in the tree itself. The sky does have a nice gradient appearance to it.

Out In The Field

Neat image with some nice touches, though completely disaturated except for the flowers would have appealed to me more, I think. I like the concept a lot, and composition is good (though moving Waldo down and in just a bit might have improved it for me just a tad, but would have thrown more focus on him), along with an almost abstract appearance because of your choice of location. Good shot.

I'm not usually a fan of very long water exposures, but here the effect is surreal, and I find it draws me in; it looks like light pouring down the hill, not water. I want to go and play in the light. Nice shot.

The Eyes Give It Away
by Krystle

Comment:
I like that there's more here than meets the eye; the hand lower down gives it a bit of punch, and the idea here is a good one for the challenge. The lighting here, which seems to be a flash, is a bit harsh for my eyes, and perhaps using natural light with a slower shutter speed might have made it appear more natural to me and a bit more subdued. To me, the person is hiding behind the tree, perhaps hoping not to be seen, and the harsh light detracts from that impression. Still, interesting elements throughout.

Going fishing

Some great colors and feeling to this, with delightful clouds and cool green/gray water. I'm not thrilled with the composition, which might be stronger with the bridge and clouds a bit higher and a bit more of the water showing, but I suppose this way deemphasizes Waldo a bit.

Tree in gray weather

I like the feeling of this; I see many days like this, and you've captured it well, with the background so misty and gray. Obviously not great lighting, but what is here is well composed and well presented, and I like the line that runs past the tree. Interesting shot.

Peek-a-boo

Comment:
Directly related to the challenge, but it doesn't really reach me as an image. The lighting is harsh, and the colors overpowered by the light at times. I like many of the elements of the composition, with the vertical lines of the railings all running parallel, and sort of driving the eye up toward the tower in the middle, but with this cut off, even that is hard for me to get to grips with. Suits the challenge, but I think there's room here to bring it together as an image, too.

Hidden Love

Comment:
There are some interesting elements to this image, and some interesting compositional choices made. I generally like the tones, though the blacks aren't quite black, and the whites aren't quite white. I think the image might reach me more if there was a touch more contrast, and if the middle section wasn't so busy (between the trees and the pergola beams). Waldo is there, but I think the distance this was shot at to hide him makes it harder for me to appreciate.
