The demarcation is so strong it appears as if two photos have been stitched together. Disorienting and effective for keeping the eye off "Waldo" for an extra second or two.
An unusual composition. The photo is split into two seemingly unrelated halves. The right side is lighter and the view more expansive, so it tends to attract the eye more strongly even though it's a bit blurry. The left side has two strong diagonal lines that lead the eye back to the right side, and the person is positioned near the edge. All these combined together are very effective in hiding the person, which was the main idea of the challenge here. In that respect, wonderful job!
But as a photograph, this really doesn't work for me. The two halves are just too different, with nothing to unify them. Once I've "found waldo", the photo just doesn't hold my interest. Which is too bad, because the textures on the left side are great. If they continue to the left a bit, I think turning the camera a bit left so that the post and woman are on thirds would make a more compelling photo (although not hiding the person nearly so well).
You're an experienced photographer, so I assume you made a conscious choice here to take the less conventional approach. A lot of people like it; there are a lot of positive comments here. Kudos on a successful photo!
I don't know what all that Post stuff means, but it adds up to a nice shot. Something about this picture is very engaging/intriguing. can't quite put my finger on it, but it makes me want to look at it more. It's one of those photos that doesn't seem like much, but in fact is very deep. This has that "it" factor (do not confuse with "wow" factor).
All the details and objects in this photo are a little bewildering, but it works well to confuse the viewer so they can't find the waldo. Interesting shot!
Meets the challenge, with good tones throughout the image. The clear division of the image into left and right had an interesting effect on how I saw the image (in the end, I like it, it's quite effective).
Cool. Really busy, makes you want to look out into the field for Waldo/Waldina :D I think you've over-darkened the shadows though. But overall, an interesting entry to the challenge.
