beautiful people this month's theme is

Candid

can·did adj
1. honest or direct in a way that people find either refreshing or distasteful
2. photographed or filmed without the subject knowing or having the opportunity to prepare or pose
3. free from prejudice or bias (archaic)
4. with innocence or purity of heart untainted by malicious thoughts and feelings (archaic)
5. white, especially with the whiteness of innocence or purity (archaic)

i'd like the shots to have been taken this year if not this month. post as often as you like in this thread. official entry thread to follow.

deadline is midnight on the 25th of MAY am working away for a week from the 26th. early finish so as not to eat into next month.

good luck and have fun.

edit to add: can we please keep image sizes to no greater than 750 pixels in either length or breadth at 72 dpi. thank you!

Although I have a Nikon Digital camera, as we were cycling I took along a £4.99 disposable. Arranged to meet me Dad and mates on the sea front. Took this as I cycled up to them, one hand with looking through the viewfinder.

thats a bit prejudiced against people with big screens!

anyway, here are two of my favourites. I have uploaded them at 39 trillion DPI, hopefully they won't be too big for your browser window

We tend to do them to 750 pixels wide as that what Ted changes them to for the forum
