I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is ok. Good dof. Tons of shadows on the faces, but we can't always control where the sun will shine when taking a candid. Of course, sunglasses are always a nightmare to candid photographers as well. I also see little emotion here. Other than the hug I see little interest. I can however, imagine them seeing something or watching something emotional. It is just a bit of a stretch for me though to imagine when I like to see it head on. It's a 5 photo for me.
