Critique Club:

Meeting the Challenge: Despite the comments below, all you see is a shadow and to me, the person himself is hidden. I like the "hint" in the footprints, so we are sure to "finally" get to Waldo. Well done.

Composition: I agree with several below, due to the fact that the upright items at the top of the photo are confusing and the car is distracting. If you could have shot away from those and left the sky in the photo, it would have been great. I love the perspective illustrated with the foot prints, as well as the texture of the sand, even reflected in the shadow. I also like the angle they make and where you are placed in the photo.

Technical Quality: Good lighting, love the shadows in the prints, no post-processing problems noticed. You might have done a slight desaturation to remove some of the blue grain in the shadow, but that's not a big deal.

Creativity: I feel that this was a verycreative shot for this challenge. Keep up that brainwork in this area!

Conclusion: A nice photo if it had been cropped, which to me was it's biggest problem.

A bit too over exposed for my tastes

Nice concept, but I don't consider this highly visible shadow to be a "hidden" person. Would prefer that the car and ?fence posts? were not shown. If they were cropped out, this would be a more interesting photo. Photo looks a little washed out in the top half. Maybe playing with contrast would improve this?

Good! I like the footprints leading up to the front of the photo and the loooong shadow of Waldo. The composition is good, it appeals to me somehow. I am not too sure I would have left the car in the photo though, but that is a matter of taste.

At least I know how you got there. Smart shot. Good luck.

It's an interesting shot, but the person is hardly "hidden". So, while you get points for a technically well executed shot with nice colour, texture and composition you lose a couple for topic.

That's really a good picture with the foot prints and shadow, but you should have parked your car out of the picture. It's kind of distracting.

Nice prints and shadow. I like the lower 3/4 of this shot the most and I think that part would stand up better than the inclusion of the horizon. 7 Swash
