So many were saying that they didn't really see a flaw in this. But I thought it was flawed from the beginning.

I was shooting for the tourist challenge, when the girl with dyed hair just reached down and picked up the chicken!!

I loved it! I loved the purple hair. I loved the red pants. I loved the chicken!

But people were in the way! Move, people! Don't you know I have a girl with dyed hair holding a chicken -- and you're in my way?!

I came back and looked through the shots and was very disappointed. It just was too flawed to be a good photo. But I'll keep it around for the memory.

Wait.

There's a flawed challenge!

Awesome!

I have an entry!

I actually had a shot with her and a big smile, but she was looking at the guy, and he was looking at her. I felt that it wasn't as flawed, because the person had a part in the story, even though it was just as much of a large back of a person. I thought this one was more flawed because the person seemingly had nothing to do with the shot, wasn't interesting, and took up 2/3s of the space.

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for the fav!! That was a fun surprise!

I think voters were looking for technical flaws, not composition flaws.

your talent for finding good light & a story is strong enough to make the guy's back seem interesting. think about it!

Sweet! He seems to like her, too. I suppose the flaw is the guy blocking half the frame, but in a way it creates a nice bit of isolation for your subject.
