Right side, lower middle. Obviously, most could not find Waldo, which I mistakenly thought was the challenge assignment. I was punished with low scores... because it was "too hard" to find Waldo. Point taken! I wont do a b&w again, anytime soon.

I was wrong about this one too (stupid me for voting on an inferior monitor and not coming back). I see him now. What I saw was just a gap between rocks...
Great choice of locations, with lots of stuff going on visually. The slowish shutter speed gives some motion (flow?) to the water, which is appealing. I wonder if a bit more contrast might strengthen this a bit; as is it seems a bit flat to my eye, though this perhaps helps in hiding Waldo by blending the shades together.
I have a feeling the person was wearing some bright coloured clothing that made it too obvious, so you converted to black and white to make it nearly impossible.... but I think I've found someone about to moon you. ;-)
Hanging on the tree? Great set up! The b&w conversion looks a little flat and grey. If you have photoshop, maybe try the channel mixer - monochrome, or even a b&w gradient map. Works much better than desat or greyscale.
You went to far with your Waldo, you need to give people a reasonable chance to find him on their own (hiding in plain sight) photoshoping into the landscape fails that.
Lovely shot, and I think I found Waldo (head peering over some rocks just under half way down and slightly to the right????) But the wonderful thing is I am not sure. Lovely image although (imo) perhaps could have done witha touch more contrast.
