The processing was probably way over done, it really doesn't look different from the original picture, i just gave the color more range and did alot of dodging and burning. the main issue was trying to "hide" my subject, because as I processed she became more and more visible so i tried to burn in around her to make her more hidden...but let's see if the voters think she is hidden enough, either way, I love the water and the rocks in the picture and it makes me happy

On the log to the left? Could be a person, could be something else other then a person. I'm not seeing anything else so....I like it - 8

Nice image, strong composition. Probably would have done better to lighten the shadows slightly, but I really like how the water looks here and I guess that's the trade off.

Beautiful! Something about the composition and the POV makes the water really feel like it's rushing right at me - a nice effect. Lovely photo!

I had this at a 6, and came back to comment. I'm not sure what I was thinking. There are delightful elements to this, and the composition works really well, both in terms of general strength but also in terms of meeting the challenge. The choice of shutter speed provides wonderful results in terms of flow of the water, and the light throughout is quite nice. Definitely not a 6 (it's an 8).

Beautiful image and certainly one were if you were not looking for Waldo you would think that there was no one in the frame, love the water capture, although for me its a little dark in places (the shot not the water). Very nice though

Love the composition and lighting. Also like that you didn't make waldo the size of a grain of sand to hide him/her. Nice work.

Sitting on the left end of the fallen tree?

Nice contrast, although the overall image is a little dark to my eye. I assume the person is standing on the log. It might be nicer if they were standing a little more interestingly, so that when you are looking right at them, you can tell whether or not it is a person. Then again, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
