So there I was trying to think of something bad to photograph and I look around my desk and see the nail clippers, so I thought "oooh nail clippings would be bad" and I looked at my fingernails and they were already pretty trim, but I went ahead and chopped away and shot some picks of the clippers and clippings just laying there, but the clippings weren't very visible so I grabbed a flashlight and laid it down on the desk, shining on the scene and that looked better and I started playing with the arrangement of the clippings and the idea of spelling out "BAD" popped in my head, so I made the B but it looked like an A, so I just decided to spell "Art" - not my username, but Art as in "this is some fucking artistic art, man!" and I took a few shots, transferred, picked one, desat'd because the white balance was off, resized and sharpened, then uploaded and wrote this here description in one long run-on sentence. The title came to me immediately after uploading.
A little gross, but be thankful it wasn't my toenails and I did later contemplate a booger sculpture of Donald Trump, but my nose is too runny. :P :D
Post Challenge: Ok, I am going to assume this was too good to be so bad it's good. |

| I totally overlooked the "art!" Clearly did not spend enough time on this one. If I'd seen it I'd have had to conclude it had cleverness to it, which would be good. Which is bad. So your score would... I have no idea. Scoring this challenge made my head hurt! |

| A theme generally considered too bad to be shot - you definitely nailed it in this challenge! Only the fact that the nails are so clean prevented me from scoring it a 10. |

| Not only is this a bad shot, it is gross. There is no accounting for “Art”. 10 |

| Just, ewww. So that's a big badness. The composition isn't bad and I don't mind the DOF, so overall middling badness here. |
