Shot with my Canon 75-300 zoom lens from around 30ft away.
Luckily, there was no cam-shake due to my laughter!

This is an outstanding photo, which fits the challenge to a tee... you can't get more candid than this... I scored this a 9, and upon further reflection should have scored it a 10.
Nice one Mr Lucas. I have a canon 75-300 (non usm) and its not the best lens in the world. Off course it could be that I am just to old to hold the camera steady...
This is masterpiece of a capture which cast guilt on a puritan mind, that is, if the mind pretends to be that pure. Speak about candid image, there is nothing more candid than this image in this challenge.
I am not able to vote, but this is a great photograph, it made me laugh. It's good to laugh...do hope it makes it to the top 10, or even a ribbon......well done
For the most part I'm partial to humans in candid shots but this is just too funny for words... You caption really does it! And the photo is excellent.
Aww man..... talk about the dire lack of dignity in an image ; )
Technically, its good. Well framed, good composition. I might have liked to see a tighter crop on the left, but then you'd cut out the shadow, so really I'm torn. I'm not sure if I like the bit of yellow on the border.. I think maybe white would've served better for the purpose. Good technical image, but otherwise, I'm disgusted :Þ
Oh my....this is hilarious. Amazing capture, great timing. I like the way the racoon's tail curves into an S. Perfectly exposed and focused as well. If the subject doesn't put voters off, would be amazed if this does not ribbon. 10
Funny shot! Funny title! Great colors and exposure! Great example of bokeh. My only problem with the shot is that I'm a traditionalist as far as the term candid is concerned and have to mark down a point for lack of people...

LOL! Is this for real? Hilarious picture. I would definately call that candid. I love the striped tail and the hook that it makes. You may need to frame this one!
