I am sure you have all had this experience before... you take a photo, wonder "is it good or bad" and then decide to post it anyhow. Then you come back to it a few hours later and wonder what on earth made you post THAT?! By the next day you find it embarrassing, and as time wears on you hate it more and more.
I have a shot like this - I took this sunrise and went crazy on the editing. I now hate it... I learnt a valuable lesson though on over editing. :-/
Please share your personal least favourite photo from your project!
@roachling@brumbe I agree and am glad to know I am not the only one who has far tooooo many of these... uggg, I that picture in my album thoughts. I would take up too much space if I posted all of mine.
I would really like to delete the entire month of January, except that it helps document how much I've changed (as a photographer) in the span of seven months time. The below photo gets me because, although the subject is endearing to me (it's a brooch that I once gave to my belated grandmother), I just cringe that I took the shot from my cell phone, indoors at work, with a flash, without thinking of composition, focus or anything, got this result and STILL uploaded it to the website for public viewing (luckily, nobody was really viewing me back then....:) ). Ay, ay, ay.... (Oh, and my more recent "cringe" photos tend to involve over processing!).
This was my 1 January shot! I only like it because it shows the meercat in the back of my dad's car, but as a photo..... My only excuse is I didn't really know what this project was all about - only doing it because a couple of friends were! I think I've come on quite a bit though!
@rockinrobyn I hear you! I don't quickly post badly taken shots any more, but I have so much to learn about PP... that's the reason I hate my worst shot too!
@alisonp Well it makes for an interesting abstract actually.
@lauralatham I think it's awesome when you look back at the start of your project and see where you've come... I find it very encouraging.
This photo looked a lot better in my mind than it came out processed. With only 5 comments and 22 views - I think that speaks for the worthiness of the shot too.
It was the most horrendously wet day and it had been like a river down my road, I had in mind a really good shot and knew exactly what I wanted but it just didn't work.
From my collection I think I hate this one the most - not counting my travel shot from a hotel. Not sure what I was thinking. To me it's ugly...didn't meet my expectations or goals.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has many to choose from but this one came to mind right away. I think I way over processed it and I don't like it. It is a picture of my daughter and granddaughter.

I hate hate hate this. It was the only photo I took that day, on my camera it looks in focus but on screen its horrific.
