I'm afraid I just cannot see how this meets the challenge.

Originally posted by espy: 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. A very good high key image, but to me, not a candid. In photographing candids, I prefer to see something a bit more out of the ordinary, a comic situation, a story untold, etc. I can't get emotion from this photo. All I see is white and what I can see of the eyes is masked. Also, for me; masks, glasses, and hats are a nightmare for the candid photographer. Unfortunately, this would have faired well in a high key challenge, but not as a candid to me. It's a 2.

To each his own....but a 2 ??????????
I think for most to vote a 2, the image would have to be really bad and this certainly is not in that category. How can we expect anyone to enter a challenge when they're given a 2 on a photo of that quality? I'll probably get ripped for criticizing how someone voted. If so, thats ok.

very nice colors and pose. Great framing. If I were to nit pick, the flower, bottom right is a little distracting but I really like the pic. 8
