The lighting in this photo seems to have let it down. It has leeched out a lot of the colour from what would have otherwise been a very interesting photo. Seeing as how we are looking for Waldo, an higher F stop closer to 11 would have got everbody in focus and would have made it more of a challenge to find him (or the part of him). The out of focus elements guide the eye towards Waldo, as opposed to encouraging the viewer to look closely and admire the detail. Good Effort. Sean.
Hmmmm - can't find your person in this photo, so am scoring it as "doesn't meet challenge". Feel free to PM me if you disagree. Focus is also extremely soft - distracting - would prefer more crispness. Lighting is nice, in that it casts shadows, but bright reflections off the toys are also distracting.
If the wooden sholdier had not pointed Waldo out I might never have found him. thanks. Biggest complaint is the yellow tint to the photo. It is a really nice photo, but the yellow tint ruins it. Should have adjusted the colors and gotten rid of that, cause it really ruined a great photo, and a great challenge photo.
Is the finger puppet the waldo? Appropriately busy, but it's hard to tell which is supposed to be the waldo image. A little glarish in places (king's head, behind the toys, etc.). Focus seems to be on the middle/far pieces, so the front items are out of focus. Color is good. Framing is O.K. 7 Swash
Well done - it took me a minute to find the "real person". The photo looks a little yellow to me (ie: whitebalance problem). Also it looks like you struggled with a light source that was too strong / close. I think sorting the colour out would have really helped this image since the creatures have so many colours amongst themselves. I like the crop - except perhaps the only creature at the top - it looks like you went straight through it's eyes. Well done on a good shot.
