That photo everyone hates but you

I think everyone’s shot that one photo that everyone hates, or worse, doesn’t respond to at all. Everyone except you, who love it to death and just don’t understand why others fail to see its obvious brilliance. Or at least absence of outright suckage. Sure, there may be some things that would be fair to bring up in an analytical critique, but that doesn’t stop you from just liking the thing.

Here’s mine (yes, it looks just the way I want it to, fuzziness, contrast, and all):

 

My hated photo: Ben and Jen

 

What’s yours?

  1. I am not sure that I would necessarily consider it brilliant but I like this one and was, somewhat,surprised that no one had anything to say about it. What do you think? Be honest.

  2. Brett, I’m still actively chewing on it, which I suppose is a good sign. I don’t know what to make of it yet, but it’s in my head for sure.

    sparkrobot, what’s the context that would make us see the photo differently?

  3. Here is mine. The first person I showed it to gave me a positive response but beyond that its only got a shrug at best.

    It’s from a series of photos I took that were my first serious attempt at street photography and was sort of a mistake shot.. I intended to get a shot of a happy kid playing with a ball but the film jammed and by the time I fixed it the child looked exhausted.
