Loved this shot the first time I saw it. This is definitely a candid shot that provokes some emotion and probably also some conversations. The expression on the Community Support Officers face tells a story as well, Is he listening to the service or is he painstakingly watching the crowd. Is he comfortable or uncomfortable. This photo for me raises a lot of debate. well captured and a worthy winner

Wow. What a great capture. This is clearly showing the excited expression on the faces of the fans that love and adore their favourite group. The exploding ticker tape also adds some drama to the shot. Another great example of a Candid shot that must have been taking in some hard conditions

What a scene to capture. I just love the look on the elder of the two boys faces. what are they looking at or even thinking. Capturing this with the rain on the windows also gives this a bit of drama as well. A well captured photo.

What a great candid b&w shot. Do these 2 actually realise they were stood outside a gay shop. This is a shot that works great in b&w and the pair look oblivious to whats happening around them while checking there phone. A great capture.

A candid photograph is a photograph captured without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved in many ways, for example: when the subject is in motion, by avoiding prior preparation of the subject, by surprising the subject, by not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos Are you brave enough to get that candid shot on the street. Please don't put yourself at any risk getting the shot.
