Thanks everybody for your comments... I realized after some of them that "candid moments" is not the same as "candid" ... I just followed candid definition which better apply to animals than persons, but definetely candid moments apply more to persons.

Just, some explanation about the wet fur... it was snowing all the day (You can se the background... all the backyard was very wet.

By far, my best portrait... ZD 50-200 mm lens are really great!

Thanks again and have fun shooting! :)

I gave this a 5. In my opinion, it is possible to capture an 'animal candid', but very difficult to do, basically (again, my opinion), if it is a 'moment captured' that has some natural and unaware nature to it (hard to explain), then it could be a candid. Not the same as a human candid, but a candid nevertheless. This is a good capture with a little pose, character and a 'just caught off guard'/became aware of your presence, type of moment. Colors are very good. Textures very good, as is the composition. It is partly the tail, but mostly the 'punk do' on top of the ears that really make this shot in my opinion - and why I took the liberty of adding it to my Favorites.

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.

Unfortunately, candids of animals are really not what I look for in a good candid. Animals are aware and both unaware at the same time of a photographer, nor do they care either way. Too easy, no comfort zone lost. It's a 2 for me.

This a great shot, but for me it just isn't a 'candid'.

Giving it the highest score I feel able to and wishing this was a 'wildlife' challenge :-)

Very cute. Is (s)he in front of a glass? It looks like reflection of some kind, and it bothers me a little. Otherwise, the rest of the picture looks great!

I know people are going to say this animal can't be a candid. However, the expression on his face makes it a candid shot!
