Where's Waldo? by alophoto

Where's Waldo?

Can you spot the real man in this photo? Not too difficult really. I was taking photos of this wonderful mural when I noticed the solitary man on the move. I waited for him to walk into the scene and shot again. I love street photography, but am not on the street too often. I'd love to get more practice with these types of candids.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends. I chose this shot so that I could include some green and not get pinched.
Great painting.

That's surreal the guy in blue frantically running away from your camera : great image !

March 17th, 2013  
That's some mural and love the furtive figure :)

Beautiful, and I love the real person walking through.

What a wonderful mural. It's cool you caught the fellow, almost looks like the grim reaper!
March 17th, 2013

@noragentian I loved it. It was huge. Thanks, lady!!

@fueast I know. I loved it. Wish that the dude were a little less hunched and avoiding me, but it was the best I got. Thanks:)!

@paul2782 It really looks like he was, huh? I think that he was oblivious to me, but who knows. Thanks, Paul!

@pflaume Thanks, Lisa. I did, too!

@malc It was crazy big. Glad that I caught it with the dude in there even though he was clearly not wanting me to:-).

@fullcircle Thanks, Cindy. I was happy with the timing! It gave the mural some perspective.

@helixconcepts He does have a rather dark look about him, huh? Thanks, lady!

@still_beachradish You are very kind to say that. I've been feeling like my eyes haven't been quite "on" lately so I appreciate the encouragement. It's not helping that I keep having to deal with sick kids and gray skies and haven't picked up the camera in days. Looking forward to another good photo day. Send some CA weather my way, would you? I posted a spring photo from last spring in NorCal on my FB cover today. I needed to be reminded of warmth and color. This midwest cold and grayness is for the birds.

@maggiemae I got a couple arty times last week...this, a trip to an art center to drop off my photo and a couple trips picking up my framed photo at the framers. There were lots of painting for sale and the kids and I browsed and talked about them, picking out faves, etc. It was fun.

@sugarmuser I contrasted it up a bit to give him more color, too! Thanks, lady!

@masosy Thanks, Miss Kate!:)

March 18th, 2013  
@amyspada So glad that it did...weird, huh? Thanks, lady! Appreciate your comments!

@archaeofrog Thanks so much, Katie. I thought it was a cool find!
March 18th, 2013

Amanda, you always amaze me how you can think of something nice to reply to everyone individually, even when there is alot...that is so nice. :)
March 18th, 2013  
Oh this was awesome! What a great street shot! I enjoyed playing along with your game :) hehe Hope you had a super St. Paddy's day!!
March 19th, 2013  
This is stunning, I loved it thumbnail size and even more so large. It's a fav for me :-)
March 19th, 2013  
@kbalychev Thanks so much, Miss Kimberly!! It was fun!

@gemtumble Thanks, Gemma. You are so sweet to fav this!:)
March 19th, 2013  
@bristolrose Thanks, lady! I try to do this when I can. It's more personal, but I am getting more and more to where I have to do mass replies and that makes me sad. Gotta spend my time in the best way, though, and need to better balance family and 365/photo time:).
March 19th, 2013  
What a neat looking mural and I love how you included the little man in it! I like the arches in it.
March 20th, 2013  
@emrob Thanks, Miss Mandy. I loved that he walked in while I was shooting. It helped give the size of the thing some perspective.
March 20th, 2013  
This is awesome Amanda. I love the composition of it. Very cool.

@sistawood It was good. Thanks, Lisa. How close was the Get Pushed voting. Those were some great entries. How fun was it to host that?! Glad we got to partner up for that!
March 22nd, 2013  
@amandal Totally!! Glad we won it together!!! It was only a difference by a few votes ... it was pretty close ... 1 and 2!
March 22nd, 2013  
I happened on this when I looked at your solitary tree. This is a very cool shot!
