Maidenhead entry named runner-up in worst holiday photo competition

The dubious honour of finishing runner-up in a competition to find Britain's worst holiday photographer has been handed to a man from Maidenhead for his entry of a photo taken by his wife.

Ryan Waters took second prize in a search to find Britain's Worst Holiday Photographer 2014, after entering the above photo, taken by his wife Louise on a holiday with friends in Vietnam.

He said: "Louise is normally pretty bad with a camera, but this picture is especially terrible. She managed to get a decent shot of me but my friend Alex is obscured by the flower.

"The photo has become a long running joke among our friends and comes out every time we all get together."

He lost out to Jayne Boorman, from Kent, who won for her blurred shot of Duffy the Disney Bear on a family trip to Disney World and received a camera for her efforts.

The competition was organised by money saving holiday site CheapHolidayLand.com
