 I had to edit this at my in-laws' house. They have a program called ACDSee Photo Edit. It doesn't even have save for web capability. So to say this one is basic editing is an understatement. LOL.

Pretty good score for a first architecture shot! :) Regardless of score, though, it's a very cool image. I love the patterns.

Terrific shot for the challenge. Lovely lines and forms. Just a tad too "bright" for me, still an excellent showcase.

really lovely architectural composition, plus it was fun finding Waldo.

I think this location was used by another photographer for this challenge. I really like the crisp colours and varying (yet simple) patterns.

Well done

Popular place for hiding Waldos ;-) The perspective feels a little tilted, especially when I look across the top.

I like the different shapes and patterns. :) I'd have different title though. And no, I didn't mark down for my personal quip.

This place looks familiar (but that doesn't bother me). I wish you had included the tops of all the top columns and nudged it so that they were even with the top of the photo.

I really like the contrasting lines and shapes. I'm glad you gave me a hint. Very cool to see how vast this place is. Nice b/w.

This is a nice version too, maybe a little heavy in the foreground but still good.

What a shame those benches suffer from the dreaded jaggies. If this was mine, it would have driven me to tears. The composition is fantastic however, well seen, and I love the b&w conversion.

LOL well i hope you dont suffer too much from being the third in line for voters from what i bet is the Washington GTG.

Nice composition and a least i spied your Waldo a little more easily than the others

Good job

Even though several photos in this challenge were taken at this location, it´s still a good capture

That's the third I've seen at the same place - I'm guessing this was a dpc GTG.

I'm editing this to change it from a comment that just said "6" to what I really wanted to type -- and no, "6" isn't your score :) Here are my real comments: I like this image, it's a wonderful black and white with great tones and a wonderful rhythm to the patterns, especially in the benches. I found Waldo fairly quickly, but that's not my test for this challenge (I'm actually looking for interesting images). Part of what I like here is the general emptiness you captured without making it feel cold. It's waiting, anticipating, not lonely. Nice, I give it an 8.

I like the different "simple" shapes showcased here. There is a lot of "movement" in the shot without anything actually moving.

leaning by the second column from the left?

Good lines here

Took a while but I found her(?) This is such a good place for photography, and I have seen several entries using it - was there a GTG here?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

a lot going on here. I think this could have done without the colums in the foreground completely. nice contrast and cool location.

Nice patterns.

This is the third shot from this spot. Someone had a GTG?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You have a very interesting photo but your waldo is is so far out of sight your the only one that has a hope of seeing him is you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/25/2007 09:08:34 AM
Great find from the DC GTG! ;-) I wonder who's this is from that group??? ;-)

I think that you hid Waldo very well, and I love the scene. However IMO I would have cropped a bit more off the bottom. I do think that you handled the lighting very well. Since it appears to be so sunny, sometimes you can blow out many parts in your shot. However you were able to save the picture with some great B&W conversion. Nice work.
