Candids certainly make for interesting photographs. They also make for
interesting legal issues when it comes to use of someone's image or
likeness for commercial purposes without a release.

Even entry of these images in competitions, which could easily be
construed as promotional/commercial pursuits, has it's risks if express
written permission is not secured.

Note: I am not a lawyer, and the above should not be construed as legal
advise, but rather the musing of someone who has been around the block
with this stuff a few times.
