Photo of unwanted background behind main subject. Title "Always check your background."

[George McGovern]

Meaning look around, behind your main subject before taking a picture to avoid distracting, undesirable objects/people in the background from ruining your photo.

1. Wise words.

[George McGovern]

3. Yup. (Although I'd not want to be the figure in this particular background.) Thanks Callalily.

2. Loser cosplay goes awry

Hope it was like 100 degrees + 100% humidity that day so that loser could add several ounces of loser sweat to that woolen loser suit.

4. Yup. He should've known better. Oops. Thanks EYESORE 9001.

The background fellow adds some hilarity to the photo.

7. Iphone did this.

Pretty easy to run the eraser tool in GIMP and take out the band. Needs a computer.

Put subject into any suitable background.

Often, we have only one angle. Cheating? You decide. Artists have a choice of background, and I consider photography to be an art, though I very rarely modify photos more than minor light adjustments.
