LOL - don't let them get ya down. With an occasional, enjoyable exception, you either shoot for the voters/scores or you shoot for yourself, but do not confuse the two. ;-) |

Lovely photo and a beautiful macro. I agree with Becky...a bit more saturation might work well. |

THANKS!! no flash, focal length of 243mm, and then cropped. I was lucky and got some other really great ones too, different perspectives & backgrounds, I'll post them maybe...just not ever again in the "Candid" challenge! :)

| Oh, I don't know - kinda looks like he's smiling for you! :-) Nice shot of the guy, but I suspect most folks aren't going to consider this a candid. |

| This is funny. From the thumb I thought - oh, come ON. But in large this is a riot. I hope you get a good score. The macro is excellent. 8 from me. |

Sorry, but a macro is not a candid IMHO... Gotta score low for tucking it into the theme...

| Good capture of a dragonfly, and candid in the sense that it is not posed, (unless the bug was dead), but doesn't really "speak" to the context of the shot, or what was going on, so it just comes across as a nice bug shot. |

| Looks posed to me...just kidding. He/she does look like they are smiling though. Nice detailed photo. |

| Great macro shot. Good angle and nice and sharp. I can't count it as candid though. |

| It is a great shot, but I cannot see the candid relevance in this. |
