Photo Contest: Take Your Worst Shot!

If you're a good photographer, you know how to take a good photo. To take a good photo, there are certain elements (for lack of a better word) that needs to be followed. Some of these are:
:bulletgreen: Contrast
:bulletgreen: Composition
:bulletgreen: Lighting
:bulletgreen: Creativity
To use these, you need to understand them. You demonstrate your understanding of them by using them the correct way.
But what if you use them in the WRONG way?
The idea of this contest is to show that you know how to take a good photo by doing the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do. =)
Alright, a lot of people seem to be confused because I lack skills at explaining things.
The idea is to just take a bad photo, the worst photo you can take. :lol:
This contest is just supposed to be a fun one, so just . . . have fun with it. =)

Rules

:bulletgreen: It must be a photograph.
:bulletgreen: It must be a new photograph submitted after this journal entry was created.
:bulletgreen: No people. Sorry, not this time.
:bulletgreen: Only one entry per person. But you can change your entry after you've submitted it.
:bulletgreen: I'll stop accepting entries on Saturday January 25, 2009 11:59pm (Eastern).
:bulletgreen: Note me with your entry.

Thanks for feature!
:iconbloodpromiser:
Ahhh. I'm horrible at explaining things. :no:
Basically, just go out, and take a really horrible photo. Bad composition, bad use of contrast, bad lighting.

I like peach pie. In fact it's not a pie. We call it "pavê" here in Brazil.
