Comment by melismatica:
The title belies what the photo shows. Since this is supposed to be a candid, I don't think it should be called eyes on the prize unless one of the dogs is actually looking at the blue ribbon in a way that appears unexpected and human. By using selective color on the ribbon you are drawing the viewer's attention away from the far more interesting subjects which, btw, should be doing something more interesting then looking off camera to be truly engaging. Sorry, this one just doesn't work for me. For me, a candid needs to show something unexpected (odd juxtapositions, subject doing something out of character, e.g.) or else, reveal something about a universal theme, such as love, greed, friendship, etc. It could be argued that this reveals something about competition, but not in a way that engages my interest or provokes an emotional response in me.

Great image, but I don't get the connection to the challenge or to the title. The dogs aren't looking at the prize - they're looking the other way. And the candid part is???

A very nice image. IMHO I would have preferred a greater DOF so that the entire horse and rider are in focus. But the image conveys movement and showjumping. Well done.
