Waldo in the Lost World
by MichaelC

Comment:
Such a great feel to this image, so perfectly processed, with delightful tones used on the subdued lighting. Such even lighting gives it a surreal look, as you've said, like a lost world. Excellent subject and well captured and presented image. 8.

Stuck in the potting shed!
by drydoc

Comment:
A generally nice shot made special by the challenge (many here went the opposite direction, being good shots in spite of the challenge); here this works for me because I'm looking for Waldo, and when I found him/her, I laughed out loud. Perfect impact for the image and the challenge. 8.

Skywalk II
by Strikeslip

Comment:
Overwhelming. That's my reaction to this shot. From the angle (which I love) to the tightly compressed range of shades, all silvery looking. Waldo's there, but it's about the lines, the curves, the metal and the glass. Delightful shot. 8.

Personal Reflection
by jerowe

Comment:
Waldo's not too important here for me; this image stands on its own. The light star bursts add a really special element to this image, driving the eye down the ally. What's there, what's coming, or what's leaving? Why is Waldo just standing there? Questions questions . . . nicely shot and processed image, with strong composition, coloring and lighting. 8.

Look closer
by Brin

Comment:
I didn't need to look closer (Waldo was pretty easy to see), but I don't mind that; what's important to me is the image itself, which is very strong. I want to find that place, with those clouds, and those hills. Are there dragons hiding nearby, or is it just a peaceful place to visit. Gets my imagination going. Well done. 8.

How not to be seen
by awpollard

Comment:
"Mr Nesbit, would you stand up please." Wonderful caption, and more importantly, wonderful image. The windows reflecting not an image but tones and shades, and the deep blue throughout . . . just perfect. I might have (emphasize might) taken a tad bit more off the left side, but as is it's a very strong, appealing image. Bumping up to 9.

Beneath Titan(s)
by h2

Comment:
What a great image; makes me want to go there, and wander around (looking for Waldo, perhaps?); great use of color here as the buildings reflect the blue sky (or are they blue themselves), and the angles and lines just keep bringing me back to see them again. Nicely seen and shot. 8.

Clearing Life's Hurdles
by GeneralE

Comment:
What a cool image; starting with a strong image itself, and processing that just makes it stand out. It makes me wonder how much I actually see the horse when horses jump, and how much I see the surroundings, what they're jumping, who else is around. I like an image that makes me think to see what's there. Nicely done.

Shadow
by Haneck

Comment:
Excellent image; the tones in the b&w are good, and the textures in the side of the house come through nicely. Use of the shadow for Waldo works so well with the otherwise shadowy tone of the image, and composition is spot on. Delightful.

the ship's ghost
by shoggy

Comment:
I really like the colors in this, and the concept is excellent. I want to find that spot, watch the moon shine down on the water, and wait for the ghost to show up and tell me her story. Who is she waiting for? Why didn't they return? Delightful story, excellent blues, well composed in a pleasant, minimal way. 8.
