I Hated Taking This Photo Today

I Didn't Like this Much Chocolate

RESULTS

Thanks to everybody who entered although I expected more given the wide range of things that people really don't like that should be easy to photograph well in everyday life - traffic jams, garbage day, the next-door neighbour's dog, city smog, rundown areas, ugly graffiti, broccoli, dirty laundry, etc, etc.

Some comments:

Just whistle: don't know why you don't like mourning doves, or maybe you mean the branch across it's chest?

Trumper: totally agree that transmission lines and wind turbines do visually pollute the countryside, however necessary.

Stiga: good dramatic landscape showing the sort of weather that very few people like.

Jim Askew: not a very cheerful picture, particularly if the houses are really tilting dangerously downhill.

Maureen Souza: I don't like chocolate this strong either!

Old Crow: The trees don't look happy about the heavy snow either. Good shot but posted after the challenge closed.

And the winners are:

1. Stiga
2. Trumper
3. Maureen

***************

Many thanks teekay, there should have been more entries though. Well done Trumper and Maureen.

Congratulations to the winners. teekay, there are many things I don't like, but I didn't have a good (artistically good) photo that I wanted to use. As for new shots, the weather here has been unfavorable, and not in a picturesque way like a snowy area.

just whistle's mourning dove, represented by a few feathers, was the dinner.

Kudos, Martin. I tried twice, but both photos were taken with a DSLR.

Well done Martin.
Maybe i should have just posted grey ,it's all we've had weatherwise this winter.The snow ones look nice ---although in the UK 1 inch of snow would bring us to a stand.
The electric pylons are a necessity but they do seem to stick them in the nicest places

Well done Martin, Trumper. And Mo. Great photos and great interpretation of the theme. We got 9 inches of snow yesterday and I am hoping that is all for this winter! I’m getting too old to shovel snow.

After a rocky start to 2019, I finally had a decent week so it was hard to come up with something I didn’t like. My 16 yr old grandson’s friend bought chocolates for me (very kind) but when I ate one it was too much chocolate. Who would have thunk?

Congrats to Martin & Trumper! Thanks Teekay... I like challenges that finish a sentence or thought.
