Meeting the Challenge: Does this very well.

Composition: Might have been a little more interesting if Waldo had been a little over to the left, to use the rule of thirds. The fairly neutral background is nice. Might have used a few more stuffed animals to cover up the blanket, but that's not a big deal. Variety of colors and textures adds to the photo. You might have wanted to rotate it a bit, so the top of the bed was a bit more even. It seems that most of the animals are leaning in towards the subject, which helps lead the eye to 'waldo'.

Technical Quality: As I said below, wish this photo was a bit more bright. The lighting being soft is nice and goes well with the subject. No major post processing problems noted, except above about the rotation.

Creativity: Well, we saw lots of stuffed animals in this challenge, and even though they were common, each one was unique.

Conclusion: Meets the challenge well, is very cute, could have had a little composition and lighting improvement.

Hope this helps, feel free to email if you have questions or comments.

A basket of fruit?

Meeting the Challenge: As noted below, Waldo could have been a bit less obvious, although most people wouldn't look in a basket of fruit for a man!!

Composition: I like the mix of colors of apples, like the neutral color and placement of the basket helping to accentuate the fruit. Waldo hiding in the shadow in between those four top apples would have been great. The background could have been plainer, maybe a poster board would have worked better than the carpet. I would have just left apples in the basket as the foreground fruit is not as pretty or shiney as the apples and takes away from the image.

Technical Quality: A little vignetting noted in the corners. Love the soft lighting. No post processing problems noted. Exposure and focus are very good.

Creativity: Very good, this was a tough challenge for many of us and I think your overall idea is great.

Conclusion: Well executed photo, somewhat meeting the challenge, nice overall. I would have expected this photo to score a bit higher than it did. Maybe Waldo being so obvious brought your score down, as the technical quality is good in my opinion.

Machinery Everywhere But Where's Waldo

Meeting the Challenge: I would say a 10 here, even though Waldo's right up front, he was hard for me to spot with my ADD and 50 year old eyes!

Composition: I do see some apprppriate use of thirds in the composition. Nice contrast and use of b.w. I think there were pro's and cons of including all of the truck. It is obvious what it is, without the picture being real long and full of sky and snow.

Technical Quality: If this hadn't been the hiding waldo challenge, I would have liked to have seen this shot more exposed or differently lit. No obvious post-processing problems noticed. The focus seems to be a bit better on the snow than it is on the subject, or maybe the lighting just makes it seem that way.

Creativity: Good for a candid shot. Not a photo I would hang on my wall and show off (neither was my entry for this challenge ;%)

Conclusion: Challenge very well met, photo could have been more exciting.

Hope this helps, if you have questions, please feel free to email me.

Meeting the Challenge: Does this very well with the repition of the headstones.

Composition: I do think including the whole tree might have made this a bit better. I like the tree in there, however, as it tends to add a little interest into what could have been a rather monotonous gray photo.

Technical Quality: Very well executed, the colors seem to be very right and the focus and dof good. The lighting somehow lends a coldness to the photo, although there are shadows present so it doesn't look flat. The snow adds to the starkness of the cemetary as well.

Creativity: Good, wouldn't have thought of a cemetary for rhythm.

Conclusion: A nice photo, well exectuted, might have been composed a little differently. Good job.

I would have liked this better if the birds were a little more clear. I really like your interpretation of the challenge, though. Good luck.

Rhythm of the Night

I like the way the clouds are moving in this shot, and to me are the most rhythmic part of the shot.
