Nice photo!!
I dissagree with all the comments you got saying that this is not a candid shot. I got similar comments for my photo just becaused I used a bird as well. It does fit into the candid challenge!

A rainy day view... (through a dirty window)
by Apollo2077

Comment:
I didn't actually notice the window was dirty until it was too late (didn't have time to retake it), so I thought I'd change the title for a bit of humour - (pity it wasn't appreciated!).
It was such a non-descriptive & dull day when I took that shot, there wasn't much else I could do!

Cat Scan

Congratulations on your win Brad - that's great!, however I will have to agree with Jon in this instance. Although it is a very funny picture, I feel that it comes across a bit on the "flat" side to me. I can understand why it won, but I also feel that if you took a step back and tried to analyse the picture, you will see what Jon is talking about. I have to admit Jon may have chosen a more delicate way of putting it though!! Congrats again!

Shedding A Different Light...

Comment:
I can reveal that this is a light-bulb taken up close (the bit in the middle which looks like an outline of a telephone reciever is actually the little wire in the bulb).

Can I also say I am slightly dissapointed that many of you did not vote for the picture because you "didn't know what it was". I feel the picture fit the challenge 100% and that the title I chose for my picture did give a clue as to what it is.

The Beginings of War

For me this picture is outstanding! very good! Just a small suggestion though: I feel that if you moved one pawn (for example the white pawn in front of the King) forward one space, it would have been a better "action" shot effect than just having the game in its basic set up.

The Net
by jjbeguin

Comment:
I really like your idea of taking the picture from behind the net, however I feel that the bottom half of the picture is not needed. I feel that if you cropped the picture from the shadow line just below the net, it would bring the viewers eyes to the football game. In this case because the shadow below the net is a darker contrast than the subject, the eye is drawn to the shadow.

Excellent image and great use of colors! I like how this is not just a picture of some random insect, but photographer has put some thought into it and makes it more interesting!
