| i would not have used the pic for candid, but the pic is a 7. The bottom wire is distracting and could be cropped. I love the bird on the transformer too. |

| Nice picture.... Can't quite connect it to being candid though! |

| I'm not going to bother with "Wildlife being candid or not"...I'll just explain why this particular one does not work for me. The concept, I can deal with...But, it would work much better if you had only the wire and the bird on the wire, without the light pole and the transformer in the photo. Also, I don't know how easy this would have been accomplished but...Get the silhouette of the bird bigger. It seems so tiny and non-interesting more as an afterthought instead of the main subject. At the first glance I noticed the color of the sky more than I noticed the bird, going for the light pole + transformer second...leaving the bird as my last subject of attention. |

| Really not sure what to make of this. Its not exactly candid in the usuall sense. Nice sky colours, but youve not made much use of the strong horizontals and verticals, nor have you used the large silouette of the pole to emphasize the birds smallness. |

| While I really like this concept, to me, "candid" requires people. 5 sjgleah |

| I think this is one of those shots where the original scene was breathtaking but it doesn't translate well into a photo. If it had been just one bird, and one wire silouetted agains that pretty sky it would have evoked a mood. And if there are enough pixels left, you could edit it. The electrical stuff on the left is just too heavy. the telephone pole leans in. The other little bird is way too close to the top and maybe he shouldn't be there at all/. |

| I think you had a wonderful shot here, well framed, composed... But when you resized and saved you lost alot. I notice it is only 26k. The site allows up to 150k. This would be an awesome shot if you had left in the resolution. |

| I've given this a '1' on the basis that it doesn't meet even the widest of meanings for candid. Let me know if I have mis interpreted and I will revisit the score. 1 Jak |

| The colors in the sky are fantastic, but for some reason the photo does not 'strike' me. One thing that bothers me is the wire being centered in the photo. Also, the bird and the powerpole are on the same plane, which prevents the photo from having depth despite the sky in the background. |

| It's a shame that the second wire is in shot. I appreciate that many times the horizon, walls and other lines shoudln't be level be I think in this instance the picture could've been rotated right 5 degrees. You've captured the color of the sky excellently though. |

| This photo is 'candid' because I can see that it was not setup and not planned. The 'candid' element of the photo is, in my opinion, weak, because of the subject. I think that the people shots are a bit stronger on the subject because it's easier to show a strong candid moment and create a better tie into the challenge :) - jmsetzler |
