LOL, well, truth in advertising, I guess. The composition isn’t terrible, and you did manage to kind of spell out “bad.” So, kudos for effort at any rate.

Bad? depends on what you want to achieve...true, you could have gone for more precise and stylized letters, you could have gone for a full black background (there is a lot of detail hidden in the shadows), maybe add some other points of interest etc, but then it would not be a bad photo matching your title anymore, right? Maybe I will rate it higher later because of all this, I think I need to let it sink in first before I can fully appreciate it.
