Well, I think it's some kind of bird, please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, from what people have told me about "candid" it fits the category. I couldn't set it up seeing as I don't own the bird, it just happened to land on the roof of a shack when I was eating at a restaurant in Florida, in the Keys.

This photo is just incredibly beautiful. Somehow all that sky gives me the impression that this is an instant in time, and the bird, if it decides to, will escape into the air and fly away if you make any noise or sudden movements. I couldn't possibly not give it a 10 - lisae
C'mon, this was staged! You paid the bird to pose, right? This is beautiful. I read a comment in the Forum from somebody expressing that a 10 is something they would like to frame. This is certainly framing quality.
love that cloud hovering just over the opening to the nest, while the bird is unawarely looking the other way mood captured - instincts sincerity of expressions - fabulous
Sorry, I like the picture a lot. Might have prefered the animal looking the other way but you probably did not have tha much choice. Very nice composition (except the 'orientation') and exposure. Sorry to me it does not meet the spirit of the challenge. -2 for that this week. Overall 6 (8 an other week).
This is a great shot. I am so glad you caught it in the sunlight, it looks like shade from a cloud was approaching. At first, I didn't like all the negative space, but it grows on you. This might have been a touch better if all the thaching were in the sunlight, but it's still a 10 in my book! Congrats and hope you win! Swash
Super shot!! I wish there wasn't quite as much blue at the top or a few more clouds there but the way the bird is at the bottom works well. Good luck in the challenge!
Love the framing of the clouds and the bird in sunlight. Very nicely done. I might have chosen (cause I like birds a lot) to make it a horizontal shot both to reduce the empty blue above and to make the bird bigger... but excelent wildlife candid.
On one hand, I like this a lot. It's the kind of thing I could see hanging in my office. On the other hand, I don't know how well it meets the challenge, and I just can't decide whether I like quite *that* much sky in a photo (although I know it's for the sake of art).
Beautiful shot. Exposure is a bit overdone. I know that this was a captured moment and not staged, but (for me) it still doesn't fit the category as well as some others. 7 ~indigo997
I really really like this. I love the fact that the bottom is where the action is and then it goes into blue nothingness at the top. I like how the light is only on the bird itself, and the rest is in shadow. Well done.
I like this photo. I think there is too much sky up top and the shadow on the bottom right seems a bit off due to the sun on the left bird area. Still....a good photo.
