nice macro and well composed, but I don't think I'd categorize a statue as a candid subject.

For me, personally, this ismply is not a candid shot. Candid requires "life" to meet its goal. I fon't think any photograph of an inanimate subject may be called candid.

Stunning capture of this statue. Excellent bokeh, wonderful framing.

Interesting in that an inanimate object was captured and submitted for this challenge. Does it work? I'm not sure, but perhaps voters here will not be very forgiving. Best of luck.

Great shot, but IMHO it doesn't meet the challenge. I'm a little traditional when it comes to the term candid and feel that it needs to have people in it.

Very well shot but this doesn't qualify as a candid IMO

Comment by LindaLee:
Not a bad shot, I just don't like it for the Candid challenge. To me, candid involves the process of catching "living things" , well...living, I guess.

Comment by Arcanist:
A well exposed image of a statue. The DOF is done nicely to not detract from the subject matter, but does seem noisy. The statue actually seems to convey an emotion. The wire on the right is distracting, but you have done very well in not allowing the light to create distracting burnouts on the helmet. The unfortunate failure is that I cannot mentally push this into the realm of candid. Lack of Challenge Validity, a minor distraction, some background noise/grain and an end rating of 2.

Um... can't say there was much of a challenge in getting a "candid" shot of a statue...

Just realised what I wrote could be taken in two different ways. For clarification, I think it's a great shot and title - i just find it amazing that this house exists in reality, and think it's fantastic that this is captured on film.

(not that you must be kidding if you think it's brilliant...)

All clear? Great!
