Thanks to all who took the time to comment on my entry.
I learned quite a bit from people's reactions on this contest as a whole. I wish I could've gotten the expression on the shooter's face (turns out he didn't snuggle the gunstock quite right and ended up hurting himself a bit in this picture...heheh). But getting that facial expression would've involved a bit more personal endangerment that I was ready to take on--some glass from the bottle of salad dressing ended up spraying me as it was. Yowza. I think I'll take my chances getting beat up by angry people on the street next time. :-)
As to timing the shot, it wasn't by using a continuous advance feature. But timing my shots was something I had really tried to work on recently. This particular day, I got a lot of practice half-pressing the shutter release to get exposure and focus locked in, then hanging nice & still before quick-pressing the rest of the way to finish the shot. There were quite a few people blasting away at this little dump, and the first several pictures I grabbed were badly timed; this was the last one I had a chance to grab, and managed to nail the timing pretty squarely after he fired off the shot. |

| I don't understand why people think an action shot can't also be candid. You deserved a better placement; but hey, it's the photo and not the placement that matters. Great job. My 9 stands. |

| I dont understand the title or how this is candid. This would be a good stopped motion photo. The background is distracting, get rid of or at least turn over the Bud box(it wouldn't be candid then i supose). I hope it was empty. No reason to risk the lives of innocent Beer. For stopped motion try to stay on the light side and use as much flash as you can. |

| The subject here seems to be the blast of the ... what was it? Salad dressing and/or beer? .... A candid of the person is lost in this composition. Great stop motion btw. |

Is this someone shooting a shotgun at a case of beer? If it is its a great action shot,, but candid?

| QUITE NICE. So, I'm curious if this was a lucky catch or if you had your camera set to continuous advance? Not that it matters, it just helps me grow as a photographer. I have nothing constructive to add to this photo. It's great. In my top three for the week. 9, just-married |

| I don't like it...Because, the main subject of this seems to be the exploding beer and whatever else there is in there. The more interesting shot would have been the person's face as he pulled the trigger or when he saw the things explore. |

| Great shot. Can't get much more candid (or fun) than blowing things away with a shotgun. What kind of dressing was that? Focus is great. Lighting is great. 9 |

mood captured - redneck with too much time on his hands
sincerity of expressions - average (also, can't even see his face) |

Kaboom! Pretty good shot but really not enough contrast or color to see detail.
Your timing was sure good. Score 6 Justine |

| This seems to be an 'action' shot rather than a 'candid.' The reaction of the shooter would have been of interest in the 'candid' sense. It also seems to be staged, but I'll assume it was not. Interesting shot but off challenge, I think. 3 Jak |

| I think this is a really great picture. I do question if it is candid or not. I guess if you define candid as 'spur of the moment' or something captured spontanously then this fits the bill. |

| That is an awesome picture. Whenever I try to do a picture like this the water is always blurry or the picture is too dark. |
