(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) This is a very cute photograph of the little boy. He looks so peaceful! The stripes in the comforter are leading lines that draw the eye right to the subject. They are even diagonal which adds to the strength of the composition. The rest of the photograph is a little busy and cluttered (yes, I understand that is how "Waldo" photos are).
(2) BACKGROUND The background is cluttered and there is nothing here that adds to the photograph. Maybe not for this challenge, but for you personally, I wonder if you tried to zoom in a little closer to the sleeping child and avoided some of the background clutter. That would have made this photograph so much better (again, not necessarily for this challenge).
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The DOF is very good, all of the important parts are in sharp focus. I love the lighting you have used, it seems gentle and soft. There are no harsh shadows at all.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is good. Saturation is good. Colors are vibrant and bright. You have managed to keep your whites white without losing detail in your blacks.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photograph does a fair job of meeting the challenge. It is my personal opinion that Waldo should have been hidden a bit better, but I did not do that either so I have no room to talk :-)
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is an everyday object, photographed in a new original way. I like this very much. This is one of those family photographs that you will treasure as the young man gets older. It might be the one you tease him about as an adult.
On another note, I live in Virginia too, I have been to this Ikea many times if it is the new one in Woodbridge. Perhaps we are neighbors. |

| Waldo's hardly hidden in this one. The flash is a bit harsh - natural light might have worked better. Lacks contrast on the low end. |

| Beautiful photo of a cute little boy, but not for this challenge. I don't even understand your title. This is beautiful, and probably and 8 or 10 for a "cliche" challenge. For this challenge it is nothing. And that's a shame. |

| Cute photo. Your waldo is very easy to spot. Very good color, lighting is pretty good, framing works well enough. 7 Swash |

| That's a sweet photo! I would have perhaps hidden him a little more because somehow I don't get the feeling he is hiding. But it's good. Did you buy that bed afterwards? |

| Looks comfotable :-) Excellent lighting job for what looks to be an indoor scene, very nicely done. Very busy photo, but it gets you where you want to go. Might have tried to hide baby "waldo" a little more effectively, but it's cute. |

| OMG. They wouldn't let me take my camera in the IKEA store. Something about ripping off their designs?? I dunno, but this is cute. I always shop at IKEA in Sweden. |
