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.

We all like this character faces. Too bad this one shows little interest other than just the character in the features. Not really an expression but more of a squint from the sun. There is quite a bit of noise in the background. Probably from the use of USM, but it's still a nice (6) photo though.

Nice lighting and skin tones. Maybe a bit tight in the crop dept, but in a candid situation, that's necessary to eliminate other "stuff" in the shot. 8

This one caught my eye. Lovely image. Maybe if the colors where just a litle bit stronger (add contrast) it would stand out more.

This should have placed much higher. Yes, it is reminiscent of jbeguins, but different enough to be an homage rather than a ripoff. I gave it a 10 which is rare for me.

Lovely textures with the beauty of the faded colors. Bumping up.

Nice work, I just wish the background color wasn't so close to the subject's skin color - this shot is begging for more contrast, IMO.

Great colors and textures I'm going to have to put yours as one of my favorites - Thank you for going outside and shooting a really beautiful shot of the real world instead of all of those staged studio shots that always score so well here. I hope this scores well for you good luck
