I am surprised that this photo did not get a higher rating. It is a truely candid shot and well presented. I gave you an 8 and only then because there was many really great shots in this challenge.

OK, I don't know, but given the noise I guess it's been cropped quite a bit which might be a shame. I would have like the man more in the left bottom corner so that we can see the sky he's looking at (OK, I don't expect the kite :-). Otherwise, good shot and good background. Good luck. =6. marcvg
The gesture of the guy is stupendous. Love the lighting on his face. Love how the whole kite experience is symbolized by the thread. And that beautiful Ruysdael landscape in the back isn't hurting any, either. 10 Journey
My definition of candid is the subject doesnt know your taking the picture. This looks posed. other wise this possibly would have looked better not so tight to the subject.
Fantastic shot... Lighting and composition are superb. Even though I think the challenge element is weak, the shot itself is beyond criticism. The concentration on the chaps face made me smile – just needs a little tug there, ah, that’s got it :o) I really like this one and I hope it does well (10) good luck…
