Starting now, show us your most uninspired, what-was-I-thinking moment (challenge entry or otherwise) from the previous year. No sign up thread, no rules -- just drop them in and let it continue until it too becomes another one of 2009's bad ideas.

One of mine. I'll find one or two more before it's all over...

OBAMA...

oh wait... I think I misunderstood the thread here... but who cares.

WORST of 2009 : OBAMA

Urrgg I have so many from this year. I look back at these shots, and wonder how the heck did I actually think they where any good. I surprise myself with my own bad taste!!!



~~~This is still one of my favs

and just terrible.

Had very little for the challenge - I really shouldn't have bothered! So, so dull!!
12/29/2009 10:26:34 AM · #7


prolly this one; though it has been useful.
12/29/2009 10:28:22 AM · #8

I shouldn't have entered in the contest. I don't know what I thought at that time :)

Four sub-5s in 2009



Might have another one soon with my Love photo :(
12/29/2009 10:53:40 AM · #10
Only one sub - 5, too much of a shoehorn apparently!


12/29/2009 10:57:14 AM · #11
It wasn't my worst score, Butt...what was I thinking???
12/29/2009 10:57:59 AM · #12
Ummm, all of mine?
12/29/2009 11:02:40 AM · #13


With my limited amount of entries here is my worst.

I don't think my sub-fives are as bad as the one I posted below but here they are (I'm not hiding them!):

just getting to know my 70-300mm lens...what a terrible picture...never should have entered...

This was my lowest scoring this year.
12/29/2009 11:23:48 AM · #18
My sub-5 scorers for the year so far:



And I still like all of them except the last one, which I could do without. The rest are just fine (except to DPC voters, of course.) :-)

My lowest scoring entry of the year, and it deserved it. I knew it sucked, but I liked the idea.


My other sub-fivers. I'm actually pleased and proud of a couple of them. (I did learn this year that giant lizards are not high scoring cliche subjects)

lol - I looked at a number of thumbnails and thought what are people moaning about - these look fine to me . . then I opened them . .

ok - you win, what were you thinking on ?

:- )

I have 87 sub-5 scores so far in 2009. Please check my profile rather than ask me to post them here.

Four averaged less than 3:

Think this is my worst this year:

My biggest problem by far is getting an idea for a challenge and then not taking the time to execute it properly. And I never seem to really look at my shots with a critical eye before submitting them. Here is an excellent case study, had I had my wife walking out and zipping up her pants as she went, my intended joke would have been much more understandable and my score at least a point higher:

After I entered this, I wondered if it would have scored any better with a more cryptic title...like Flame Angel or something....nah... bad is bad. :)
