 Very little post editing. Contrast/brightness and croping.
Drove by theater and when I saw kid smoking under the movie name I stuck camera out the window. Not a great picture, but thought I\\\'d enter anyway.

Image size is an issue here - impossible to know what screen res you are using, but on a high-res screeen it's a very tiny image, and that makes it difficult to assess. An interesting composition though, but the guys walking into frame ... I don't see how they add to the image, especially cropped off like they are.

nice candid - but you will lose marks for not using the full 640 pixels

I think you may have an interesting picture, but it would have benefited from being qutie a bit larger to create a better impact.

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.

The sign gives the only interest to me in this shot. The people are just added extras that really give little interest, when they should have been the main focus. I would have liked to have seen a closer shot of the man in blue for this candid. A bit out of focus. Just no wow factors, and very little story here. A 3 from me.
