Worst botanical photography



It is very difficult to do a bad job with flowers. One way to do is to look for ugly flowers, but that is like looking for ugly models in Victoria's secret catalogues. No matter how you take them, someone will say, "oh, that is pretty!"

I happen to think that words like "pretty" and "cool" are the worst kind of wording to describe a photograph. First of all, as soon as you use these word, it immediately exposes the fact that you have nothing better to say other than those two words, because either you know nothing about criticizing photography, or you have very poor vocabulary. Either way, you are exposed. Not good.

This picture is horrible as usual. It doesn't even look like a photograph. It loos like a very bad oil painting. Very shoddy.
