Wow, I seriously hope this is the worst image I ever end up submitting. wow.
This is my first flower entry...too bad it has to be so freakin' ugly, but this way I don't think anyone could say I did not meet the challenge.
:::After Challenge:::
What the hell. Are you serious? Okay, this is hopefully the crappiest photo of mine ever...in the "Bad" challenge. Why did it score so low??
It DOES meet the challenge.
It's a center composition flower with water droplets! How more cliche' can I get?! PLUS I made it a terrible color, waaaay overshapened it, there's a bad shadow, and a disgusting frame. The flower wasn't even blue! (I swapped the color in the camera)
However this must mean that I'm really awesome to get a bad score in the BAD challenge :P
I guess I can see how people who haven't been here very long wouldn't recognize the cliche'. But still...a 4.2!?
Oh well, I won an OOBIE though, so that kinda makes up for it :)
Thanks Team Novice!

Leah,
I must be colorblind, because I actually really like the scheme you have going on here. It's one of those photos that is so over the top it works :-) I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have been one of your higher scores if I had. The whole pink&green thing is pretty common down here in SC, where it has a connotation of preppiness. No joke. You'll have to try harder if you want to really submit something bad :-)
I actually "like" the photo, well not the border. I reminds me of a color negative or some type of infrared image. It is striking in that regards. As for the challenge, I think you went with being a little too literal and too blunt.
Most DPCer's like emotion, so while this is a bad photo it doesn't feel like a bad situation. At least that is the only reason I can see why it scored poorly. Nice thought put into this challenge though.
Something must be wrong with me. I gave this an 8, for two reasons: first I think it really is an abomination, and second I really like it. The clincher for the abomination part is the "preppy" pink and green border. What I like the best is the vibrant color of the image. Really cheers me up to see it.
Thanks for entering this one! I got a laugh out of it and understood the parody. In my opinion, an excellent portrayal of bad everything. My 'pet' irk is tacky frames. I salute you on meeting the challenge and being funny as all heck.
Well, given the challenge context, I have to award this abomination a good score. It hurts, but the utterly apt title be testimony, it's the right thing to do.
An (as an aside), good taste ought to know bad taste - which would leave an irony as blunt as a hammer.
