remember, you aren't shooting this for basic, so feel free to (J) healing brush on skin imperfections. This type of lighting is really rough on that...

I like the pose, but I can agree that your facial expression isn't super. do you listen to music while posing?

Oh and I dig the Fruit of the Loom choice... enough with the Calvin Klein, Fruit of the Loom is just comfortable knickers! hheheh

edit: did ->dig

I find myself liking how the right arm shoots out of frame. At the same time, the open space on the right side of the photo between arm and frame doesn't sit so well. I think this would look better if he were jutting up against the frame on both sides, as he is already boxed in on the other three edges.

Background is quite nice. Lighting is nice, though the brighter parts of the body look a bit washed out. Would like to see more definition on the torso.

Good overall. Something I would try to mimic did I not have the body of homer simpson.

Either the head in the lower left, or if that's a buoy the people standing on the boat. I see several people in this shot.

Hoping Waldo can tread water. Sea looks too green in comparison to sky for some reason.

Nice take on the challenge, and fun title to give it a bit of edge. It seems the image is primarily driven by the challenge, though, but for this purpose it works well. I might have moved the horizon up a bit so there was less empty sky (which doesn't do much for me), but whether that would improve the image is a guess. The soft focus on Waldo's head does work for me, though, given the context.

A bit hazy looking, but I like the perspective of this.

Is waldo the head in the sea or the people on the boat, beautiful rich blueness of the water and cracking impact when you look at it together with the cloudless sky

Nice use of negative space.
