Challenge: Where's Waldo? III (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro for Canon
Location: Babbacombe
Date: Jun 23, 2007
Galleries: Cityscape, Candid
Date Uploaded: Jun 24, 2007

Taken at Babbacombe Model Village while on holiday, infact submitted while on holiday too so pp'd (badly) on my laptop :) Seemed to fit the challenge anyway, hope you enjoy.

Post challenge edit:
Wow, that's some bad processing. I must redo this shot now I'm back home so it's marginally less embarrassing :/ Worth mentioning that the colours are rather bright and slightly unnatural to start with. Mind you, fooled a few with it so not all bad :)

Edit-Edit: Quick re-edit

Looks like maybe too many people didn't realize your town was a model town. While I didn't think it was a ribbon contender I did feel it deserved better. Its a fun image and a good trick.

The greens are too saturated here. The grass is no longer a natural color.

I think I see at least 3 Waldos in front of the Savoy

BAM! In your face bright colour, yeah. Heh, took me a while to realise the scale here. Everything looked odd and plastic... then I spotted Waldo and the penny dropped. Excellent work!

A wonderful shot which has grown on me. When I first saw it I thought 'oh empty street, nice but no real wow' Spent ages looking at various mini blobs wondering 'is that Waldo' then looked beyong the tall building and realised it was a model village (which makes the tap springing out of the bush more understandable...I was wondering what the hell it was)

Hopefully I am right about it being a model village aren I, if not run for your life a giant is attacking

Possibly could have been a touch sharper but in terms of this challenge a true little marvel 8

Meets the challenge, but I'm trying to understand the oversaturation here. The greens are brightly green, the whites are very bright. I feel like I'm missing something here, though the way it's exposed it almost looks like a model town, which is a really cool effect.

Waldo´s a giant !

Cool! I saw this butt on the right and though it was a statue of a horse or cow on a rooftop, then I realized it was Waldo! What a realistic looking model town.

The greens look a bit oversaturated here, and that is making the image quality seem a bit grainy.

I was about to say this is not a good entry, because I see lots of people, then I noticed the giant on the right!

a bit oversaturated.

If you could have had him attacking the town like he was Godzilla... that would have been great!

That's funny! Would have fitted the Backside challenge, too.

Intersting model town here. The scale surprised me when I found Waldo. ;-)

06/25/2007 05:23:58 AM
clever idea, but will probably voted down by the fast viewers - too many little Waldos here. could be a tad sharper

I was going to say this is too saturated and looks like a toy-town. Well, my comment was right on the mark, or you have a giant problem. Excuse me while I smack myself in the forehead. :)

Is this like a miniature town or something like that? Well done...the image lacks a little crispness...perhaps it was a cropping issue/resolution??? 6
