 This is the Col. Ward Pumping Station in Buffalo, NY, which transports water to the entire city. My local camera club was treated to an exclusive tour of the interior of this historic building (built in 1914). Waldo, by the way, is at the far end, in the center, on the platform to the left of the lower stairs.

Len I HATE you. I speny so flipping long looking for this Walso and then once I read your description I found him in an instance. I loved this picture on a whole host of levels and for me it would have been a ribboner in the challenge

Great job

I still love the shot, but even knowing where he is, I can't tell that's a person!

Ok I give in - SMILE! I just can't see him - looking forward to finding out WHERE he was!

Hmm. Not 100% sure, but am guessing Waldo is blocking that last light on the middle level on the left. Something is, anyway. Nice star effect on the lights.

Took me awhile to find - good hide! I like the patterns and shapes, cool place. :)

Now this is a puzzle. I give up. Where?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Is he sitting down on the far end of the second level kind of on the left side? He's hidden very well here good job.

I never did find Waldo, I'll have to trust that he's there...but the shot was interesting enough that I kept looking for a long time. Good job!

Wow, it's such a nice photo. But, no matter how much I look (it's been 10 minutes I spent plus my son was looking too) - I don't see 'Waldo'. Yes, I see you say '...he's there'. I think it should be more obvious. Still, because I think it's just a nice and interesting photo, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I wonder how it will turn out? I'll go with a 8.

I don't find the subject/location very interesting.

I cant find the person but I love this picture.

I am tearing my flaming hair out here, trying to find Waldo!!! I dont know why but I feel certain that he is there somewhere (rather than you playing a cruel trick on the voters) and that when you point him out I will scream at my lack of observational skills

Got to say that this is one of the most striking images in terms of this challenge and has been fantastically captured, I just hope for your sake that other people are better spotters than me and that you dont get marked down by anyone who cant find waldo. This gets 9 from me

Nice photo but I can't see waldo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Got him! On the first landing at the back there? I hope so, otherwise, you have me stumped :D Great shot too, wonderful strong lines.

I like the industrial feeling of this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/26/2007 01:39:27 PM
Regardless of Waldo, this is a great image. The industrial feel is so clear here, the blues blue, but industrial blue; the greys great. Great light, and excellent composition, with such good use of symmetry, broken only in the differently symmetrical appearance of the ladders. One of the places that keeps modern life going, but we never see. Wonderful, bumping it up to a 10 (first had it at a 9).

is that a person, on the second level, just to the left of the stairs, kind of in the box?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great symetry and strong colors/contrast.10

Good one, blends in very well with the junk at the back.

 06/25/2007 03:40:41 PM
nice detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/25/2007 01:11:49 PM
Would that be him to the left of the first ladder up from the ground ?

Incredible building, nicely captured.

great shot, took me awhile.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/25/2007 10:09:33 AM
I believe he is at the top of the first ladder just to the left? Nice composition and lighting. Nice work. Back to bump score.

 06/25/2007 09:41:48 AM
This would have been good for symmetry, too. Great location, nice light.

Damn, I'll be blind before this challenge is over. LOL I've got on my reading glasses and I might see a tiny profile in the lower left. Did I get it? ;~D
