Composition isn't doing anything for me, but the birds seem to be in focus and the inclusion of the chains adds interest. Not terribly bad.

its real
by PennyStreet

Comment:
It's cluttered and underexposed in some places and overexposed in others. Also at a slight tilt, which is the kind I never like since I can't tell if the tilt is intentional or not. But it is telling a story of a city in the rain, so the clutter and harshness make sense to me, and the tilt could be indicative of the confusion of a tourist. Which is not so bad.

Extraordinarily ordinary

Comment:
Ordinary but well photographed, so not bad IMO. You just skipped straight to good.

The Poser

Comment:
That's rather uninteresting and the bird (cormorant?) isn't in focus, so ... badly done. Congrats.

Is that our new mothership?

Another eww! But you made me laugh, so you lose a badness point for amusing me. No, wait, you *gain* a point for being so bad you did something good ... I think.

Nailed It!

Comment:
Just, ewww. So that's a big badness. The composition isn't bad and I don't mind the DOF, so overall middling badness here.

Birdsong

Comment:
You got great detail inside the bird's mouth, which I find interesting, and therefore don't deem this a bad image. I mean, the eyes are in focus, too. Just not bad enough to rise near the top of my ranking.

Focus Within

Comment:
Yeah, I wouldn't normally have so much out of focus in the foreground unless that enhanced the image, and I'm torn on whether this adds enough of a pattern and leading lines to be interesting. Not a huge fan of centered compositions, so you have that going for you on the badness scale.

This one is ... well, I have no idea what it really is. Which could be bad or good, but for this challenge we'll go with bad.

Shelter

Comment:
Even with only one subject facing the camera and the focus looking sharpest on a couple of behinds, this one isn't looking that awful to me. Could have more contrast, I suppose, but with the snow I don't mind the haziness. Not bad enough for my taste (I can't believe I'm looking for true badness!).
