Congratulations: great idea and great picture - one of my favorites. It´s a REAL candid shot unlike a lot of pictures that turned out on a better place then yours. I think people end up voting considering the technical or artistical aspects of the pictures but forget that this is a subject based challenge.
Sneaky rather than candid. She is asleep and the light and camera are just not fair. The motto is presumptuous. This is all interpretation. Technically it is a very nice picture, the highlight might have been slightly lower.
Sleeping beauty would have been a good title for this shot :o) The lighting and composition are superb. The shot has a really good atmosphere of calm and tranquillity. In terms of the challenge, it's a fine line between staged and candid. Therefore, because the shot is good enough not to look set up, I'd have to say that the challenge is well met. (10)
ok ... I do not know what you're going to get. I like the picture and the grain in the picture. I think the light part is a little too much light, it should be there .. but just a little less. And to me it does not 'meet' the spirit of the challenge. This week 7, and other week probably a 9 or a 10. -1 or the light and -2 for the challenge. Overall 7. Very nice shot, be proud of that one.

Even though it's probably pretty easy to get a "candid" shot of someone while they're sleeping, I like this idea a lot, and the title is clever too. I'm impressed that you were able to focus this clearly in such a low-light situation, too.
Great image. It is very soft and dreamy and this makes this image better. The lighting is very good as well. I wonder what she said when she woke up and saw your picture?
