I'd suggest "rule 38" for a title - nice pic

not quite sure what to make of this. as a photo, it's a bit of a wreck. no central focus, a lot of chaos. not really a good time of day to be shooting. as for the challenge, well, if your score isn't where you would like it to be, you might want to read this thread

The subjects are too far removed from the viewer (in this case, me) to provoke the type of emotional response that,IMO, makes for a successful candid. In a candid I look for either the unexpected or for the subject(s) to have been captured revealing a strong emotion, be it glee, fury, pride, frustration, etc.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is alright, but I don't see much by way of any particular interest. In categories I would list it myself as a water or an action, and not a candid. There is really no emotional value being portrayed from any one or more persons, and just two boats with two sailors on them. I can see there is some conflict happening between the boats, but there doesn't seem to be much concern over it that I can see. To me, as a candid, it is a 4.

not really a candid...a bit soft in focus and not so good in composition
