Should we comment on the waldo we found or just the picture?
I don't want to be always saying there he is and the person who took the photo just goes duh!! i know.
So what do you guys and girls think? |

| I think if you don't find him you might comment. I think this is going to take a long time to vote, I find I have my nose right to the screen. |

This has harder than any other to judge. My eyes hurt. I'm really pissed at the couple of entries that did not have a Waldo in them. You look forever. |

Not being overly familiar with the concept of 'Where's Waldo' I am assuming that the cartoon character in some entries is actually Waldo himself.
The Challenge states hidding a person in the scene so showing a cartoon drawing is missing the challenge??
Any feedback greatly appreciated. |

Yes there were some entries with the cartoon character, Waldo, in the shot. It's up to you to decide if it meets the challenge or not. The details said to, "hide a person in your otherwise person-less photo." People will be all over the place on defining what a person is, the intent of the challenge, etc. You pretty much just have to make up your own mind.
EDIT: In short... there is no right or wrong answer as long as you're consistent.

The wording is wrong I presume, if you were to hide the person then said person should NOT be visible, however that isn't the case with the Waldo books, and pretty sure they didn't men it to be taken as literally as you have put it.
The scene should encompass the feeling of a finding waldo book, by that it should mean there is a person, a face, a figure or the sign of someone in the image which at first glance you do not see.
Kind of hidden but not so that one can't see the figure.
Take a look at the last Waldo challenge to see examples
Waldo?

I don't think so. The cartoon, a person or the concept should be enough to qualify the image. The concept being hideing a "Waldo" in a pattern or group of objects so that the viewer can look right at the "Waldo" and not see him. Not because he is hiding behind something, so far away that he is too small to see, or that he is obcured in the shadows, but because he blends so well.
I saw one that didn't fit the chalenge completly, but it was original, sharp and had great elements of design. Also it fit the Waldo concept. I gave it a good score.

Your quite wrong on 2 counts. Firstly being hidden or hard to see doesn't mean it has to be 'blend in with the background' and this is also not what happens in Waldo books so not sure where you have gained such an idea from?

Yea, you are probably right. It's 4 in the morning. I'll edit that out.
But on the other count I didn't say [i]background[i] I said blend in. |

No I didn't. I'll give anyone who did credit on this one. Couldn't think of anything original and my 1Ds is giving me fits. I have two solo shows coming up in April and May and I have to send it back to Canon again for the second time in less than a year. Sucks. |

Nikon doesn't have anything that comes close. That is not an oppinion, it is a fact. I sold all of my Nikon lenses last year because I got tired of waiting for them to catch up (I am refering to digital camera bodies. I love Nikon lenses and film cameras).
Even now with the Kodak 14mp DCS replacing the 14N, when comparisons are made they are made to the 8.2mp Canon 1D Mark II, not the 11mp 1Ds. Nikon just came out with the D2x, and I haven't heard any ratings yet, but it is still a matter of catch up. The 1Ds came out over 2 years ago.
I will probably upgrade to the new Canon 16mp 1Ds Mark II as soon as I see an armored car drive by and drop a couple of bags out the back door. |

| I think I'm getting voted down because My Waldo is not being found. Two comments, neither found him. He's there, so if you don't find him you better look again, before you vote a shot down. Its Waldo and he hides well. |

| I am again surprised of ability of people to think ONLY in straight meanings of words. Where is Waldo? Ah, I need to hide a small finger of a person in the corner of any shot and it wil fit. But there is NO creativity! My oppinion and it is shown on my entry is to have a visible person there but to have it that way that the shot doesn't actually have a person as a living human being there. But as I see people just don't want to open their eyes and minds unfortunatelly. |
