I laughed so hard when I saw this that I cried.

This is an outstanding photo, which fits the challenge to a tee... you can't get more candid than this... I scored this a 9, and upon further reflection should have scored it a 10.

Keep up the good work

Nice one Mr Lucas. I have a canon 75-300 (non usm) and its not the best lens in the world. Off course it could be that I am just to old to hold the camera steady...

cheers

tsk tsk

hehe joking.

Didn't vote but if I had would have given this a ten - subject pose is pretty unique which isn't something we see here often!

Should have been top 10..

This is masterpiece of a capture which cast guilt on a puritan mind, that is, if the mind pretends to be that pure. Speak about candid image, there is nothing more candid than this image in this challenge.

Tasteless, but made me laugh. I'm embarrassed to say I gave this one a ten, but SHHHH -- don't tell anyone!

For the most part I'm partial to humans in candid shots but this is just too funny for words... You caption really does it! And the photo is excellent.

hahah awesome

I don't think animals fit the candid description but i have to give you an 8 for this capture anyway.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2005 01:46:42 PM
Aww man..... talk about the dire lack of dignity in an image ; )

Technically, its good. Well framed, good composition. I might have liked to see a tighter crop on the left, but then you'd cut out the shadow, so really I'm torn. I'm not sure if I like the bit of yellow on the border.. I think maybe white would've served better for the purpose. Good technical image, but otherwise, I'm disgusted :Þ

But I won't let that affect my vote.

very crisp and an excellent image for a caption contest, for the comedy value rated as a 9!

Technically beautiful photograph. Love the subjects but the moment could have been better, just doesn't grab me.

Oh too funny! What a great capture!

01/04/2005 01:12:53 PM
Oh my....this is hilarious. Amazing capture, great timing. I like the way the racoon's tail curves into an S. Perfectly exposed and focused as well. If the subject doesn't put voters off, would be amazed if this does not ribbon. 10

Hmm... if that's not candid I don't know what is
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2005 02:18:23 AM
That is definitely a candid moment! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2005 12:05:54 AM
Funny shot! Funny title! Great colors and exposure! Great example of bokeh. My only problem with the shot is that I'm a traditionalist as far as the term candid is concerned and have to mark down a point for lack of people...

01/03/2005 04:33:00 AM
LOL! Is this for real? Hilarious picture. I would definately call that candid. I love the striped tail and the hook that it makes. You may need to frame this one!
