Post your 'cringe-worthy' photo here

[ricktas]

Just for a bit of fun. We all have them. You know the photos, you was just learning how to boost saturation in Photoshop, or perhaps you were put onto how to do skin smoothing on your portraits and you went to town. At the time you thought it was stunning, but now you look back through your archives and think 'what the hell was I thinking"?

So this thread is for you to post that photo, and get feedback on it (not to serious though). So c'mon, show us your best 'cringe worthy' efforts. Don't be shy.

I will start it off with a seascape that I took way back in 2006 and as I had just taken up Photoshop, I was in heaven learning how to do all sorts of things with the menu. Well this is the result of an over-enthusiastic use of saturation. It must have been during my blue period...hahaha. Enjoy!.. and show me yours!

I haven't got to many 'cringe-worthy' photos left. It took me a while, but I found out how to delete.
Anyway, they're not all gone. I was excited with my first DSLR and I like birds.

Back when I thought that putting everythign through photomatix was the cool thing to do, I came up with such monstrosities such as this :P

[ricktas]

Loving them so far. Thanks Mark and Dylan for getting on board. I thought it could be good for our newer members to see that everyone of us started somewhere and we have all done the extreme processing along the way.

[Duane Pipe]

Mine is about the composition and not the processing. I actually thought I was taking good shots at the time
Now wheres that delete key Mark

I think I may have overcooked this HDR a little bit.

Poorly taken, opportunity lost.

The image isn't sharp, as I didn't hold the camera steady, and hadn't taken a tripod.

Unless my eyes are worse than I thought the only thing that seems out of focus are the tops of the trees which I like, as the blur gives a lovely movement. I really love this photo.

Thank you for that.It was a beautiful evening, and worth it just being there.

Oh I have soooo many to choose from

Over-saturation + trying to stitch wide angle shots = extraordinarily hideous

I thought, at the time, that star filters looked really cool.
