The latest book by Erik Kessels, In Almost Every Picture, is a testament to photography’s most common mistake: a finger obscuring its subject. Every keen photographer has had a moment where the excitement of beautiful surrounding scenery or an interesting subject has got the better of the quality of the photograph.
If you have ever experienced this photographic faux pas, and have photos ruined by obscuring fingers hidden away somewhere, we would love to see them.
So whether a breathtaking landscape or a particular family portrait has been overshadowed by the photographer’s fingers, share your snaps with us and we will feature the best of them on our site.
Share your pictures now by clicking on one of the blue ‘contribute’ buttons or, if you’re out and about, you can download theGuardianWitness app on your smartphone. Please bear in mind that we need parental permission for photos which include anyone under 16s, so do make that explicit in the text when you submit them.
