 Photorapher’s Notes
I’m still in Las Vegas for Photoshop World. This is a busy place and there’s almost no place in the city where you can photograph just one person in a context where the person is “hidden in the photo.”

I was walking back to my room when the halls were empty of … room service carts, luggage, maid’s carts, … and people (damn it.) So I was shooting a few pictures playing with tilting the camera to see if I could make the hallway at all interesting. And just about the point where I was going to give up and move on, a person opened their door, stepped into the hallway, and started walking toward me.

So I snapped a few frames as they got closer and closer hoping in at least one frame, the person wouldn’t be obvious. I think I did it. But now dear voters, how will you react to the image?

Seems a little soft but I love the angle.

I love the angles and the shapes. I just wish the image were a bit more focused.

Nice idea, I would have given a higher mark if it was sharp.

Great idea - the quality of the camera appears to be poor. The lighting seems off and the image is not sharp. I think better lighting would have made this a top image in the competition!

Very interesting composition. Unfortunately the image is too noisy, and you did not hide "waldo".

eek, the horizon tilt is a little much.
