How would say 'the photo was still bad' ?

The context: we all smiled but the photo was still bad. Would you use 'ser' or 'estar' and would you use it in conjunction with 'todavia'?

Thanks!

A direct translation would be :"la foto estuvo mala todavia". But you might not sound natural, if the idea is to express that the photo was still bad even though several attempts were made, I would go with "la foto sigue saliendo mal".
