definitly a surprised look, but I think the idea was 'surprised or startled people'
Off Guard - Photography Contest [53 entries]
Contest goal:
We've probably all taken pictures like this. You're out and about, taking pictures in public, either on the street or in a car and get shots of people passing by. Some of those people know you are taking a picture of them and sometimes have the most intriguing look on their face. That's your goal. Submit an entry of those people with that surprised look on their face.
The funnier and more surprised they look, the better. There must be facial expression in the shot. More than one person is ok. DO NOT stage it. Someone smiling at the camera with the look of wanting to get their picture taken doesn't count. Remember, the key is to catch them "Off Guard".
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Suggested by: jawshoewhah
jawshoewhah: I'm glad they used my idea. ( 5 years and 3355 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Just a suggestion but everyone might want to consider getting shots of strangers, rather than people they know. They will always be the most off guard. ( 5 years and 3352 days ago )
Nator: Great idea Jaws but unfortunately the idea is better then the images. ( 5 years and 3351 days ago )
wiseman: i dont like the snap shot approach, keeps the bad name of everyone can be a good photographer..... ( 5 years and 3351 days ago )
RayTedwell: great idea, but unfortunately most of the entries not great. Oh and Wiseman, the good photographers will still outsine the poor ones, even in a contest like this one - get off your high horse! ( 5 years and 3348 days ago )
wiseman: easy ray.....no high horse just a thought...easy big guy ( 5 years and 3348 days ago )
RayTedwell: 
just calling it as I see it. As much as some of the entries are not at all nice to look at, I believe these contests are good in that they encourage everyone to have a go and submit. Oh and I do think everyone has the potential to be a good photographer, and the purpose of this site is to encourage participation and give people feedback so they may improve. OK, coming down off my soapbox now :P ( 5 years and 3347 days ago )
