I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

This is ok. Kind of tells a bit of a cute story. Better than a lot of candids entered in my opinion, but still not one of the best. I give it a 6.

Kid with an umbrella really goes well with the dpc audience. The picture is clean, crisp and well compositioned. I don't know if this is a candid moment or a setup moment. Think dpc'ers might think this is a set up shot and mark it down for that. But I like it a lot and don't know if it is a setup up or a real candid. Great job and good luck :)

I think this could really have some impact if you adjusted levels or curves to give the depth of tones a boost. It seems a tad washed out to me. I like his placement in the shot and the striped umbrella is a great touch. 7

Personally, I feel that borders other than black or white are very distracting...especially since the color kind of matches the grass, and it's a little awkward-looking. Otherwise, I really love this shot...you've captured a really nice moment, the strength of the wind is very evident and the very shallow DOF is extremely effective.

I'm not voting this challenge, but good luck :)

IMHO I would have preferred to see the actual jump rather than the fall.

Perfect shot! The too-big umbrella and gloves give an interesting humor to this one. :) A definite favorite for me!
