This was Hard. Some of these were way off the theme. They stuck the people dead center. If I look at the picture and see the person imediatly it gets a low score. How low depends on how obvious "Waldo" is and how weak or strong the picture is in spite of that.
I also gave lower scores if the way to hide "Waldo" was to place him so far back on the horizon or make him so small as to make him hard to see solely because of size. Or to obscure him by placing him in the shadows and turning up the contrast.
The pictures I did score high were the ones that had strong composition and other image components to begin with, and then went that extra with a good dose of imagination to hide "Waldo" right in front of me and still make me look. |

| For me hiding a person really well is secondary to the overall quality of the photo here. Indeed, a vast majority of photos meet the challenge by making a person really small or by placing him (almost entirely) behind an obstacle. It meets the challenge formally, but if the photo is dull, I tend to score it low. The best I think is when the photo is fine even without a person present, but discovering a person there brings to the photo an additional dimension. |

| I think the perfect "Waldo" would be the one from the movie "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" where the pothead girl blends into the chair. |
