Well, there certainly are a number of things wrong with that photo. It's just that there are so many gems on this site... Not sure this is the upper echelon.

No, not even close. Bustloose definitely needs to reset his worst-ometer to rc.com levels. BL - may I suggest going back to look at some of the previous contributions to get a sense of how bad things can get? Cheers! GO

While it certainly isn't the best photo I've ever seen, I see no reason to qualify it as the worst either. I wonder if bustlose thought the rope was behind the leader's leg. I did at first... but it snot. no, bustloose did not think the rope was behind his leg. he just thinks it's a terrible fucking picture, but might have a different definition of terrible. much the same way the average RC.comer thinks that 5.10 is high end climbing, the average RC.comer has no appreciation for real photography...
Yeah, screw the plebes with their crappy sense of photograhpy and 5.10s.

While it is true that the average RC.comer has no appreciation for real photography, the title of this thread is "Worst photos of RC.com". Now if you are telling us that this is one of the "Worst photos of RC.com", you either haven't looked at 99% of the photos on RC.com, or you have absolutely no idea of what makes a photo good or bad.

i promise you, i know what makes a photo good, and there is nothing in this that is good.
given that every second photo posted could qualify, then sure, this might not be in the *worst* category, but i assure you, it is a terrible photo.
and John, i did not say there was anything wrong with climbing 5.10, but it is in no way high end. much the same way there isn't anything wrong with taking a bad photo and posting it online but just cause you did do it, does not make it good.
you people need help. lots of it.

This guy should never ever, ever, EVER be let near PS, GIMP and/or a pic-filter again. The subjects are often not bad, but his PS-skillz are....well....worse than mine, and that's bad! 
The photos are bad, but this guy, well, he seems to think anyone over the age of 5 is "sexy". Here's the link to his Flickr page. The toddlers are all "cute" and all the 10 year old girls are "sexy".
F'n scary dude.

What is wrong with this pic?
Is it just because it doesn't have a rock in it?
I admit there is a bit of a Jedi knight thing going on in that photo, but it's not bad at all.

Nothing is really wrong with that photo. There was a rush to get photo's in for the contest and that one got caught in the melee.

Judging by the way the chalk bag is hanging, that might just be a picture of your hero's ass !
