Very nice photo full of action. Absolutely terrific composition. Vibrant colors. Beautifully stopped motion. Really a very worthy effort. But without the feel of a candid photo of someone unaware of the camera.

It may be that you won't agree with me, but in my mind "candid" implies a photograph of a person at a candid (i.e. unaware of the camera) moment. So, to that way of thinking, this doesn't really meet the challenge.

This is such a great photo. though, that I'll assume it was taken with a really long lens and that the subject really wasn't aware. Great character in the face. Perfectly lit. Nicely framed. Very appealing in its white point / black point balance. Focus is dead on. In short a perfect photo ... except for the challenge theme thing.

I believe if you'll post bigger photos, they will score better.

Nicely composed and executed. I like the colors and their contrast witht the gray background. Well done.
