Define Subtle Ugly Meaning

Subtle Ugly
Posing for a photograph in a manner that is either intentionally or unintentionally unattractive. The person in the photograph appears as though he or she was trying to look attractive, but failed.

However, the ugliness of the photograph cannot be instantly or overtly noticeable. Instead, someone viewing the photograph will have to look twice to figure out what is off about it.
