I think thats a awesome picture actually.
But yes, with the leopard Wrasse and scopas Tang mostly in focus, it may not be "bad" enough to fit the criteria. As competitive as POTM has gotten lately I don't think it is "good" enough to win or even be selected as a finalist in a normal contest. I will be curious as to how it is judged.

It's the bane of mine! Our tank is relatively close to a window, so whenever I get pictures of our tank, I either have to stand in this awkward position to not have a glare or just photoshop the glare out of the photo (which is too much work, lol).
I have to wait until dark to avoid the glare.

Someone needs to enter this contest with one of those disposable film cameras you could get at the drug store. That would be a winner, for sure.

I wish I still had my Holga. They are great at taking bad photos

From previous contests, I’m pretty sure one can replace his entry as long as it’s done before the deadline.

@maroun.c can you clarify wether this is legal or not?

I would love to see a Polaroid entry :)

I had to Google Holga cameras. They look like what toy cameras were modeled after.

Out of focus, Motion blur of a top down shot of my corals just as my wave maker went.
Shot with the new Iphone 16 ProMax, enhanced slightly with Snapseed.
