An unsatisfactory scene is disqualified as an image acquisition control for a camera. An image is acquired. One or more regions of facial or other key features are determined in the image. These regions are analyzed to determine whether they are unsatisfactorily blocked or shadowed, and if so, then the scene is disqualified as a candidate for a processed, permanent image while the feature continues to be blocked or shadowed.
