How is a sports action shot a candid shot? The athlete is not on the sidelines, or getting a drink, or standing in line at the concession stand, or getting out of his car, or signing an autograph.
Sports action is just that, "action". A candid is something totally differant.
Photgraphically speaking however, this is a great "action" shot.
The tonal values are excellent, the light is great, great texture, great emotional value, excellent comp, excellent dof, the fence pole going up the athletes leg is not wanted, over all, this is not a candid scene, but a very good sports action scene.
This is by far the best 'action candid' that I've seen in the challenge so far! Great capture. Hope the viewers accept it as a candid as well as action!

I don't count sports and performance as candids. It's quite acceptable to photograph a match in a way that is totally different to capturing a stranger on the street.
