Location: Annecy, France

This shot was actually taken on top of a mountain near Annecy, France. I went up there with my little brother to watch the sunset.

There was that big crucifix right at the highest point of the mountain and venus was shinning so brightly. Both gave me a very sad feeling, like a mourning feeling. I asked my bother to stand at the crucifix and snap !

The warm colors of the sunset were really amazing and I wanted to add then to the composition. Too bad I had to include that chairlift. I wanted to crop it out but then no more sunset colors :(

Anyway, I hope you'll like it.

Just cropped + slight contrast boost + slight rotation

Just a little explanation, I guess I have misunderstood the concept.
I just read the description and saw "Anything that have gone wrong". I thought that loosing his father is definetly something that have gone wrong.
Anyway, thank you all for you lovely comments :)

Beautiful shot. Nice colors and use of sillouhettes. Title matches the feel of the shot perfectly. IMHO I find the camera (or whatever that is) to the lower left detracts a little from the overall feel of the photo. Nice capture nonetheless.... 8

Nice, solemn feeling photo. I like the silhouettes and sky. Bit of a stretch for the oops, but technically well done, in my untrained opinion.

Beautiful shot. I'm giving it a 9 because it is such a strong and powerfull image. I'm deducting 1 point, only because without the title, you don't get the "Ooops." But as I said, it is absolutley beautifull!

L8r,

A beautifully composed and sorrowful photo. But does not exactly belong in "oops".

Pretty, but not sure how this relates to "Oops..."

Sorry, Kid! That was never my problem. The cross you're leaning on makes me think that you are waiting in the front yard of your Baptist church after falling asleep during the Sunday evening Worship service. If I had done that as a kid, my Dad (a Baptist preacher) would have had me on the business end of a Bobo Paddle. But on the "flip-side" our Father God is showing you a great deal of grace with that gorgeous sunset

Excellent pic and title. Good lighting and I love the single star to the left. May just a little more exposure for the top of the cross but excellent pic other than minor darkness.

Grats on the great shot, I have to lower the score for calling this an "oops"... only 5.
