As expected, it was difficult to vote in this one. Just what criteria does one use? The best bad picture? The worst looking picture? Whatever it was, here are the finalists in this contest. Good luck!

I voted for Zooby because it's just such a classic mistake, and the movement in the picture is so wide as well.
 
  • #3
My vote goes to 0TheSwerve0, it's the 'best worse' picture.
 
  • #4
How did Zz's artistic fireworks ever make it into the final round?! :smile: Surely that's not a bad picture to anyone but Chroot. :biggrin:

I'm going with GeoMike because it still manages to make me slightly queasy to look at that photo.

I'm going to vote for Moonbear cause that picture is so bad I'm pretty sure it's been posted upside down.
 
  • #6
Shouldn't we be voting for second place this time?
 
  • #7
Less than a day left for you to vote on the picture that you think is the BADDEST of the lot!

1. Why is it important to have a good picture for the final vote?

Having a good picture for the final vote is important because it can greatly influence the outcome of the vote. A visually appealing and professional picture can attract more attention and votes compared to a bad picture. It can also convey a sense of credibility and trustworthiness to the voters.

2. How can a bad picture affect the final vote?

A bad picture can negatively affect the final vote in several ways. It can make the candidate or subject appear unprofessional or untrustworthy, which can decrease the likelihood of receiving votes. It can also distract or turn off voters, causing them to overlook the important information or message being conveyed.

3. Can a bad picture be improved or fixed before the final vote?

Yes, a bad picture can be improved or fixed before the final vote. This can be done through editing or retaking the picture with better lighting, angles, and composition. It is important to ensure that the picture accurately represents the subject and conveys the intended message.

4. What can be done if a bad picture is already being used for the final vote?

If a bad picture is already being used for the final vote, it may be difficult to change it at that point. However, the candidate or subject can try to address the issue by acknowledging the bad picture and providing an explanation or justification for it. They can also try to promote the vote through other means, such as social media or personal outreach, to shift the focus away from the picture.

5. Is it worth investing in a professional photographer for the final vote?

Investing in a professional photographer for the final vote can be beneficial, especially if the picture will be used for important and high-stakes decisions. A professional photographer has the skills, equipment, and experience to capture a high-quality and impactful picture that can greatly improve the chances of success in the final vote.
