Unlike posed portraits, candid photography is spontaneous and unpredictable. Authenticity is valued more highly than perfection, which frees a photographer from certain limits. Genuine reactions aren’t always easy to capture, though, since people are quick to change their behaviour once they notice they’re being photographed, so subtlety is key... Here's a challenge: instead of simply taking a picture of a stranger, try and style your image so as to suggest greater involvement from your subject than there actually was. Good luck!

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
