 This little guy peaked out at me yesterday morning as I was enjoyed the morning with a cup of coffee. He was so cute, I just had to get a shot of him. I could not beleive he did not run away. I was so glad I took the idea of this challenge seriously, which was to carry my camera with me everywhere all week and capture something. This little guy made my day.

At first I didn't see the mouse/rat what ever it is and gave it a 4. Now I noticed the creature and give you a 6

I don't think the voters will count this as a candid, especially since it took me several seconds just to find the little guy...

Obviously, not posed, but doesn't seem much like a "candid" to me, either. It took me a second to see the little critter. At first, I thought you meant the statue was your visitor, and I was wondering why you wanted it out of focus.

I struggle a little with animals as candid, although to be fair you do seem to have captured a lovely moment in time. Might have preferred a tad more zoom on the chipmunk/squirrel as the statue in the upper left is a bit of a distraction and draws the eye away from what it should be looking at

Just a little too overexposed in the rocks behind which take your focus away from the little critter.

I think a candid cannot be of an animal......

IMO candids need people...and this, whilst cute, takes a bit for the viewer to see the animal.

This cutie is lost among the rocks as he blends in with the colors

An animal for candid is a little bit of a cop-out to me. Even still, the subject gets lost in the picture. Maybe some burn and dodge to help the focus.
