Critique Club:

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.

I have never seen so many cuddly toys as I have in this challenge! Funny that you all had the same idea. I like this one, especially the monkeys hand on the right which seems as if it belongs to Waldo.

I'd like to see this a little lighter and the lighting a little softer. Cute photo.

Cute one. Was really expecting to find a child among those toys. But then, maybe I did. Good photo. Nice focus. Great color combination. Needs to be a little lighter.

Waldo found! Cute shot. Good focus/framing works, but color is a little dim, try increasing the color saturation a couple notches. Lighting is a little dark, but not killer bad. Interest level is moderate to moderately high. 7 Swash

I like the colour and composition of this photo. It's very real, but also interesting and colourful. My only complaint (and it's minor) is what looks like a tag above the big teddy on the right. Also, the bed frame isn't quite balanced, which would have given the photo good structure. Well done though.

I like the way Kermit seems to be the ringleader in this pile! This might have been more effective if you had cropped it more closely, removing the evidence of the bed.
