They're artistic in a serendipitous way. I LOVE the new moon photo! And the fish...and the plane wing looking like it's on fire. LOL. Awesome. For “failed” photos, I think they’re really cool.

Ironically, I have more failed photographs now compared to then simply because in the pre-digital days I put in a lot more care before I pressed the button! I like your pic of the fish in the aquarium. Very surreal. :-) Meena. Hehe, I have my fair share of failed photographs pre-digital.

I'd be so excited and then of course a little disappointed at how few "perfect" shots there were. I really like the goldfish picture, though!
