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.

I find very little interest in this shot. Just a photo of another photo taker. The trees are pretty, but no real "candid" is shouting out to me here. A 4 vote.

Looks like the two of you had the same idea. hehe. Solid composition, but a little busy. The trees are distracting. Other than that, I like it.

I use PanoTools to do the stitching. Thanks for your comments.

I really like this, especially the deep greens and consequent reflection on the water. I'm a bit bothered by the grass in the lower right, however. I feel that either more grass should be visible or that the existing grass should be cropped/cloned out.

Beautiful capture of SLC. I love how you placed the Angel Moroni dead center, whether intentional or not. Also, I like the imaginary vanishing point beyond the scope of the photo of the converging streets. Very nice.

Did you stitch the photos by hand or using a program?

A very well framed image. I love the contrasts between the brilliant yellow daffodils and the dark statuary - they look almost silhouetted. The building in the background brings more interest and a nice tonality as well. The focus is excellent on the yellow flowers, which I think is key due to the subject of the challenge. Nice use of the light available. Only thing I can think of that might be a detriment is the fact that there is so much going on in the image. In many cases that would be a downfall but I think for the most part the number of different elements is well balanced. 8

I love daffodils. With that said, I would have preferred a shallower (?) depth of field to really put the focus on the flowers and not on the attractive but distracting backdrop.
