Bridge over the pond at the local botanical gardens. Normally when I try to take a shot of the bridge without people, there is always someone walking across. Today - when I wanted a shot with someone in it - I had to wait 20minutes before someone showed up! Figures, eh?

Waldo is nicely deemphasized in color and placement, and the image itself has some good points aside from this (interesting textures), though it is a bit bright at some points (especially what's lying on the water, which -- especially in the lower right corner -- is quite distracting to me).
The composition is too centered, I think. I think having the centered structure where "waldo" is more to the left or right would add interest to the shot.
Great composition. The lighting is a bit harsh probably because of how sunny it was, but I think you helped it a bit with your B&W conversion. Nice work.
