No, I don't think that the photo has failed at all. Failure would be only if photo mean't nothing to either the viewer or the shooter. It doesn't matter what the viewer takes from it, the interpretation is personal and if the shooter was inspired to take the picture in the first place, that's also good enough even if the hoped for result wasn't achieved. ( I have to think that or I'd have give up taking pictures
).
