Post Your Favourite Rejects Here

[F8&Bthere]

I wasn't sure where I could post this thread since show your photo forum is set in three separate sub-categories of subjects, and the photo assignment forum strikes me as being reserved for official (as in Marko's) monthly assignments... But I'm betting all of you have at least one photo that is technically flawed, or just sheer crap, but somehow works for you... perhaps you can't even explain why...and perhaps you're just too shy to post it for fear of the likely barrage of insults to your lack of skill (surely wouldn't happen in our friendly forum)? I'll throw a couple soon in if this thread gets any response, but I'm still deciding which one(s)- I have a big reject pile. Sorry for being redundant if this has already been done here recently....

Where to start!!!??

[F8&Bthere]

lol, that's my dilemma. But I thought it would be a fun thread!

[F8&Bthere]

OMG- I like those shots...
Well I'll have to post some of my better rejects later to make up for this one- I'm talking the real car wrecks that are soo ugly but you just can't look away for some reason.....hehe

HOld on..you get the better..I'll get the worse! LOL!

Okay...here's this one...I HDR'd it and I kinda hate how it turned out, yet at the same time I kinda like the gaudiness of it also!
I also toned the saturation down as well if you can believe it!

Here's another couple.... When at the Stampede Pow Wow competition i thought it would be kinda cool to show the feet of the dancers, however it didn't quite work out as I had hoped (blurry and the white balance is all wrong and gotta love the cigarette butt ) but I am still kinda drawn to them for some reason.

Oh and the Robin with a mouthful of worms was an after thought also.

Great idea for a thread btw!

I like this one but I am thinking it's a bit lacking in something but I'm not quite sure what. It's definitely a bit of a reject.

Interesting. These are the rejects yet I like most of them. I find that we are so focussed on the trees most of the time that we forget to look at the forest.

Need an ego boost? Post some of your photos on Facebook where "non-photographers" hang out. They don't become blinded by the details.

Iggy, I like something about that one too, but i get what u mean about missing something. I guess the mind expects to see a chess piece of some sort?

Casil, I really like the HDR flower shot. On the native feet shots, were you right up at the pow-wow stage wearing a cowboy hat (light colored), got there before the show began, a little right of center stage (stage left i think they call it)?
