IMO doesn't meet challenge.

Originally placed in the mid-range holder, this image is very strong for the mood and essence of candid (even if it is not the typical subject-human). Most of the whites are textured, and not lost by blowout exposure, although the hind end of the bird could use a bit more detail or curve, it is not distracting. The neck however is overexposed on top. Some slight burning in selected areas and this would be finessed. I like it and am bumping from a 5 to a 7.

It may be that you won't agree with me, but in my mind \"candid\" implies a photograph of a person at a candid (i.e. unaware of the camera) moment. So, to that way of thinking, this doesn't really meet the challenge. That being said, I like the way you've captured the ice.

I like this shot nicely done.
I think the composition could have been better and the back of the bird seems to be blown away or overexposed. But still very nice idea.
