You know the one, sitting in your camera roll right now, slightly blurry, maybe a stray finger in the corner, and you've scrolled past it a dozen times deciding whether to delete it. Right now it's both your most honest piece of work all year, and completely unusable

The interesting part isn't the photo, it's that the exact same image can genuinely be both things depending entirely on the story you tell about it afterward. A flaw becomes a signature the moment you decide it is one

Describe your own almost-deleted photo, no need to upload it, and tell us which way you're leaning. Best shot or bin it

Bin it, no argument, some photos are just accidents that happened to land on a memory card

Not a keeper unless someone else convinces me otherwise, I have zero faith in my own eye

Still undecided on mine, it's been sitting in a folder called maybe for eight months

Deleting it in my head, and yet somehow still haven't actually done it for real
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

Keeping mine purely because I've already shown three people and they liked it
Just here for the craic :)

Best shot, easily, the blur is doing more emotional work than any of my focused ones

Signature move now, the stray finger in the corner has become permanently mine apparently
