Challenge: Where's Waldo? V (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Date: Sep 10, 2011

 My entering is so hit and miss lately. Signed up for a WPL team and I have been a complete slacker. Thats what happens when life gets busy. This challenge came up and I thought I could probably pull off something quick and easy. We have these corn fields in our neighborhood. I had first thought of shooting both kids and calling it children of the corn. But on the way to the supermarket I decided to give it a go with just Aidan (Rowan wasn't dressed right). It was early morning sun and the camera was having a hard time focusing with the glare. Took all of four shots and was going to see if the idea worked considering that I might have to go out and shoot it again. But when I got home and did a quick edit I realized that I didn't have to. I think it came out really well. Doubt it will score high, but I am enjoying the image and I will have at least one entry for the WPL. My score estimate is a 5.7. Maybe I can at least beat out Melethia as we are up against her team this week.

Definitely a hit. Gorgeous shot! And yeah, you beat me by a mile but that's not a surprise. :) Congrats on the team thing too.

Congrats! This is my favorite in this challenge. He's well hidden without being tiny and once you spot him (took me a while), it feels like a big revelation.

I thought it was yours, Tim (though I also thought the one in the bath might have been yours,thetoo). I really like the crispness of this. Well done.

Very nice job! Took me a bit. 9 Just went through all the other shots and it looks like this one will ribbon.

This was the first one to come up for my vote. What a hard act to follow! I initially gave you 9, but I've come back to give you my only 10. There are plenty of lovely pictures (aren't there always?) and entries where Waldo is so hard to find that it hurts my eyes trying. There are entries where Waldo is barely, or not, hidden at all, or simply of miniscule size. Then there is this. I think that you have absolutely nailed the challenge, and the photo is esthetically pleasing as well. Great job.

Im embarrassed how long it took my to find him. Lovely exposure and nice B&W conversion, ought to be in ribbon country.

Great job hiding your subject!! I just dont like the blown area in the top...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2011 08:40:59 PM
Now I know what is 'where's waldo'. I rate this 'one of the best 10'.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2011 05:55:40 PM
I can see Waldo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2011 07:51:28 AM
I swear. If ever I pass your kids on the streets I'll be like "oh hello!" and they'll probably call the cops cause they don't know me.
Nice flare image.

is he taking a leak?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2011 06:32:33 AM
Excellent!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2011 04:12:03 AM
Excellent how his shirt and arm resemble corn leafs. Is that Mr Toole jr. ?
Nitpick would be the letterbox border which doesn't fit here too well.
