Your Worst Photo

March 2023

This is a classic scene but not fully captured! A funny entry indeed, and great detail on the water features with the birds leap. This is almost theatrical with the bird's feather detail and pose. Very graceful and tongue in cheek.

This is a sweet portrait and interesting framing, with the wide cropping, it looks like a still from a video you've taken on this special day. You've captured a moment which feels important, and the hand poses adds an extra detail.

Congratulations! This landscape immediately caught my attention. The moon can be incredibly difficult to photograph and I feel I need to commend your entry as you've furthered this by framing the moon with a softly focused branch. A really successful shot!

Laughing Cow indeed! Great reference point to this tremendous portrait. I think the placement of the stone is a prominent part of the overall shot, I commend you further with your choice of crop and the amount of space around your subject.

This is a chaotic scene you have captured! Thank you for including your production details, this makes me understand the steps you've taken for this image. Your focal points work well here, with the foreground in a motion of blur.

Ouch! I’ve chosen this image to review to further commend your use of framing and balance of light in this portrait / landscape. There is so much detail in this, but it doesn’t overcrowd the overall purpose of the image.

I found this shot very much in reference to Martin Parr's beach photographs, and your separation of foreground and background is clever. This works well as the majority of the detail is to the right of the shot, with breathing space to the left.

There is a sense of irony with the narrative of this shot, your subject, a cheetah, being one of the fastest animals in the world, has beaten your shutter speed. This is very fitting for this contest and a great entry.

It looked good in the viewfinder, your intentions were so good, but someone moved at the last minute... the camera slipped... you didn’t mean to press the button... and that damned autofocus has a mind of its own. Whatever happened it’s definitely not that you’re a bad photographer who needs to take a class. Well here’s your chance to shine. Dig out the pictures that went wrong, and let’s see how dire our photography can get. How will this contest be judged? Yeah, we’re working on that one. <b>TOP TIP:</b> To save from tarnishing your immaculately created profile pages, you may want to know that on your <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photos/manage/">Manage Photos</a> page you can easily switch off an image’s visibility using the eye icon. It will still show in the contest, but not on your profile.

I love the cinematic value this landscape shows, perfect entry to this contest. What makes this a success is the pin sharp detail of the horse in the background and space left either side to frame the foreground. A blurry take!

The wrong bird!, great title to this sky landscape! This is overall very dream like with a limited colour tonnage of blues and whites, the most common colour of a sky setting. This is serendipitous and a humorous narrative. Good job!

Really great image that has a defined focal point here, it's certainly fun to comment on as anyone who has been in a crowd situation can very much relate to this head in view shot. Great tonal level here also.

Really fun landscape and contributes a very human error and innocence to this mistaken shot. This adds so much more interest to classic tourist imagery, this could become a strong editorial series poking fun at these attractions with a unique eye.
