Composition:
Nice diagonals and the horizon help lead the viewer into the frame. The vanishing point is positioned nicely. The horizon could be straightened a little (might be just my tired eyes though).

Lighting is interesting and well exposed. There are a few jaggies along the lights in the distance but that can't be helped.

Colors are pleasing and nicely saturated without going overboard. They really help create the mood in this shot.

The challenge:
Waldo looks like he was less than deliberately placed to me for some reason. However, a lot of commenters liked the sized and placing of the elusive Waldo. In the end I think I will have to agree with them.

This is still one of my favorites of the challenge! How can folks not see Waldo? It deserved better IMHO, adding it to my favorites :-)

nice contrast of color and exposure. I think I'd like it better though if you cropped the top so the moon and star weren't there. It would make the photo feel more balanced and I wouldn't be distracted by them.

Quite amazing sky hues - and the glassy sea is beautiful. I see Waldo behind the lamp post.

Great shot. So far the only effective 'ghosting ' shot for me - and there are a few in this challenge : )

Very nice colours and crop.

Nice lines in this; makes me want to walk along the sidewalk and look into the water. The dark shades of blue suit it well, and though the lights distract me a bit in their blurriness, the overall appearance is generally good.

I believe waldo is by the first post on the right. I really like this shot, because waldo is well hidden and not the size of a grain of sand. Nice job.
