kyricom: Campers... true photobombs aren't just someone or something getting in the way - they are someone (on purpose) sticking their face in your shot unexpectedly right when you press the shutter - they've "bombed" you ( 5 years and 3011 days ago )

MnMCarta: OOOOOO!!!!!!! I might have to re-think my entries... ty Kyricom

locksmagic: Um... Yea Mark is right, a photobomb is an intentional thing, most of these aren't on topic. ( 5 years and 3010 days ago )

MnMCarta: omg Jean so do I! I keep coming back cause it's sooo adorable!

( 5 years and 3010 days ago )

MnMCarta: ok I kinda agree with ya'll about someone "purposely" gettin in the picture BUT it does say ruiled by someone or something and the example was on purpose... but what about someone or something that is just constantly moving in front of you while you are tryin to get the shot or a squirrel drops a nut while you are shooting something? I'm just trying to get what really we are looking for cause I thought it was just something or someone that just happened to be in the way at the wrong moment. ( 5 years and 3010 days ago )

MnMCarta: oh geeze... ok my spelling sucks... At the top it says "ruiled" but I meant "ruined" ( 5 years and 3010 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Photobomming is an act that is done on purpose to ruin the shot. All entries that are just ruined by an accidental object/person/animal will be removed. Please consider your entry carefully before uploading. ( 5 years and 3009 days ago )

friiskiwi: Once more, the original description is misleading;
"ruined by that one person, animal or object?' So those of us who don't read all the comments before we upload will loose one of the chances to upload. In this case I don't really care, as I tend to delete those photos straight away, so probably couldn't find an other one or two.
Would be great if somebody carefully considered wording before uploading contests. ( 5 years and 3009 days ago )

smokebigbird: well mine was a animal n it was removed, of topic, dont see how, as when I clicked the photo a bird flew by right in front of thier face. gone now though. ( 5 years and 3009 days ago )

smokebigbird: Off* ( 5 years and 3009 days ago )

MnMCarta: Mine was a person that kept swaying in the shot... not on purpose is why I think it was off theme. I only kept it cause I keep all originals now even if I don't give them as part of the package. ( 5 years and 3008 days ago )

MnMCarta: I still see a lot where it doesn't seem "on purpose". I'm not sure any animal would really bomb a photo on purpose cause I don't see them knowing what you are doing with that contraption in your hands??? ( 5 years and 3008 days ago )

Ory: Since my entry was just removed because it was not an act "done on purpose" to ruin the shot but rather an accident that someone got in the way. I am about to red flag say about 80% of these, they better get removed too. Cause seriously most of these were accidents not someone jumping in on purpose. ( 5 years and 3006 days ago )

lincemiope: Today I put 4 red flags. The bomber is random
sorry for the friends ( 5 years and 3004 days ago )

lincemiope: ops.. the raison of red flag are ;

layerstack: What a load of nonsence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good bye ( 5 years and 3004 days ago )

friiskiwi: I started voting on some of the photos, but gave up, this is a photography competition, so WHY do we have competitions to show bad photographs.

FallingHorse: Friiskiwi - I often ask myself the same such as the blown out highlights contest and selective colouring etc ( 5 years and 3003 days ago )

Ankonian: this is not what i wanted when i suggested it, i severely regret it now. This was a total disaster and i apologize to all ( 5 years and 3003 days ago )
