Candid or Intrusive ?

When does a candid shot cross the line into an intrusive one ?
Or is there no line ?

When the subject notices you and becomes self-conscious, or objects.

Here's a very similar one.

This is a great capture in my opinion.

If people find this offensive, photography is not their hobby.

I loaded the picture into photoshop and tested something. I darkened the bench a bit and added some contrast to the picture and it really popped out of the monitor. I think you should try adding some extra contrast and perhaps add some sharpening selectivly on some details.

Great capture.

I think it's a great shot,
as for you question. As long as the guy didn't notice, and abused you, I think it's a great candid...
