Hmm... Are Mark Wood, Martin Haswell, or one of the others? I would have liked it made really yellow.

Composition - Well in a lot of photos there is a white sky. Its like that for us in the States too especially this time of year. Seems like we don't have blue sky here except for the day after a good snowstorm. Odd how that works. The white sky is definitely not helping matters in this photo. The water color though I think is fine. The concept of where's waldo was to hide him so we couldn't see all of him, but enough of him to tell he's there. This is not particularly well done in that aspect. That is probably the biggest reason this photo did not do as well as it could have. The photo is really pretty dreary without anything to really "wow" the viewers. Maybe framing this shot more centered around the falls with waldo stuck in the corner would've made it a little better. Who knows?

Technical - The waterfall is a little blurred. I'm sure it has something to do with the exposure values due to the crappy day. If the shutter speed were just a tad faster, I think they would've been clearer. The picture lacks some sharpness to it too, which ironically enough may be from trying to sharpen it too much in PS. Your camera takes pretty good clear photos (my wife has one) so it definitely is possible to have this come out well. The exposure value of the dreary day may be playing a part in this too with the shutter at 1/60 s. This is not super slow, but might be enough to make a slight difference, which in the focus world is enough.

Overall - Conceptually not very well done in terms of meeting the challenge. Not a bad photo imagewise, but lacking a little in terms of good colors or interesting subjects. It is a difficult time of the year to be doing much outside. I'm going to go take some pictures outside right now for despair. Good luck in your future endeavours - Bob

I like the lighting of the phone book - it's very natural and realistic. In some ways it's a shame that there is some blue in the top left corner but it's not a big issue. I wonder if you are featured somewhere on this page?

Beautiful photo. Love the dam and the water falls. Georgeous country side. Hope the person walking the dog isn't Waldo. My idea of Waldo is hiding him somewhere in the photo, like where the blue thing is on the left side of the photo. That would be a well hidden, but findable, Waldo. To me this is a wonderful photo but has not met the challenge, and the score must reflect that. If Waldo were hidden this would be a 9. It's one of the best photos as a photo.
