Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Shopped. Original image http://jootix.com/wallpaper/3194

[–]oddurs 27 points28 points ago

You can also tell by looking the specular reflection in the blue eye. The culprit used the Hue slider which brought the otherwise cool highlight (sky etc.) to a much darker ember. It don't make no sense.

[–]El_Diablito 6 points7 points ago

Good observation. The Devil is always in the details.

[–]Hipster_Panda 6 points7 points ago

This killed my dreams like Voldemort kills unicorns.

[–]AndrewNeo 11 points12 points ago

Cheetah

It's a leopard. :(

[–]HighSorcerer 2 points3 points ago

It's amazing how much people get this stuff wrong. As a zoology major, it gives me a sad.

[–]madoog 0 points1 point ago

As a person with eyes*, it also makes me sad.

*(and an ex-zoology major).

[–]HighSorcerer 0 points1 point ago

You'd be surprised how often people call a cougar a tiger, or a jaguar a cheetah. It's just silly.

[–]dogs_are_best 7 points8 points ago

I want to believe :(

[–]pilvy 6 points7 points ago

[–]tradiuz 4 points5 points ago

Here is the little karma machine that I rescued yesterday.

[–]Winter_Gal 0 points1 point ago

When looking at these all I can think about is the blue/orange contrast

[–]pilvy 0 points1 point ago

Even the first and last?

[–]Winter_Gal 0 points1 point ago

First one yes, second one I still had the though in my mind so it got applied to the last one anyway

[–]APPLEBLOOMthrowaway 0 points1 point ago

Aren't white cats with one blue eye usually deaf in the same ear that the blue eye is on? Now I has a sad...

[–]B_DUB_19 1 point2 points ago

Me too. That's why i checked. It is a really cool image though.

[–]Jonnnnnnnnn 0 points1 point ago

Here, have the home cat edition instead

[–]sahlahmin 4 points5 points ago

this is what I usually think when I see these posts. The effect is too easy to do. It's all fake after Afghan Girl

[–]egosumFidius 3 points4 points ago

damn, i wanted an excuse to type out heterochromia iridum.

[–]heterochromia_iridum 6 points7 points ago

You called?

[–]cgimusic 1 point2 points ago

Redditor for 25 days and this is your only comment? Have you just been waiting for this moment?

[–]heterochromia_iridum 1 point2 points ago

I've been waiting to be summoned... Now that I have awoken from my slumber, I shall be... Unstoppable <evil laugh>

[–]vibrant_crab 0 points1 point ago

Glad to see that Sir Buzz Killington found his way to this thread.

[–]dittidot[S] -1 points0 points ago

Thanks for posting this, such a beautiful shot. Dang, I feel cheated!!

[–]terrenceistheman 5 points6 points ago

I feel cheated cheetah-ed!!

[–]dittidot[S] 2 points3 points ago

And I ain't lion!

[–]panzerdriver 1 point2 points ago

Penguins !

[–]Rascolito 4 points5 points ago

That comment was really irrelephant!

[–]CmndrSalamander 1 point2 points ago

Still beautiful. Cheetahs be cool yo.

EDIT: Leopards be cool yo.

[–]AndrewNeo 2 points3 points ago

It's a leopard :(

[–]BaconSmokers 0 points1 point ago

glad you took the time to look it up.

[–]Elnono 0 points1 point ago

How is it working in 16:9 vertical mode? pros/cons?

[–]BreakTheSun 0 points1 point ago

Pros: Document oriented tasks are awesome. I can see an entire page of reddit listings, google search results, pages of paper etc. at a time. For Software Engineering, there really is no equal.

Cons: You need multiple monitors. Single monitors doesn't cut it. Also, wallpapers. 4320x1920 is a hard canvas to fill.

[–]malfunktionv2 15 points16 points ago

That cat is thinking with portals.

[–]Einstine1984 -3 points-2 points ago

Glad to see it's the second comment

[–]horganic 3 points4 points ago

Clearly wearing colored contact lenses, down vote.

[–]BugOverloard 5 points6 points ago

Photoshop is a hell of a drug.

[–]Consistently 3 points4 points ago

Reminds me of the puzzle from Resident Evil 1.

[–]imafryingpan 2 points3 points ago

Out of all the genetic disorders, heterochromia iriudm is just straight awesome.

[–]RazZaHlol 2 points3 points ago

[–]chubs44 2 points3 points ago

fake and gay

[–]omgsus 2 points3 points ago

[–]patroneyes 1 point2 points ago

[–]poznasty 2 points3 points ago

hey that's my cat's dad!!! PROOF

[–]3rd_degree_burn 0 points1 point ago

A surprisingly cat-like Ignatius J. Reilly.

[–]CurlyNippleHairs 0 points1 point ago

You mesmerize

Me and you mess with I

When you booty pop and drop it

Like it aint no thing

[–]gnitirWsdrawkcaB 1 point2 points ago

When I read the title, I thought this was going to be another Ermahgerd post.

[–]TheRealImbaju 1 point2 points ago

Is there a wallpaper sized version of the picture (not the original)? (1920 x 1080)

[–]pog_mo_hon_reddit 1 point2 points ago

Photmashopped

[–]AcadianBacon 0 points1 point ago

It's like the ending of American Psycho.

[–]dmo90 0 points1 point ago

Man I really wish we had real life pokemon or daemons like in the golden compass.

[–]Italian_Stallion_17 0 points1 point ago

You know whats even cooler? If you cover up the right side, he/she looks curious, if you cover up the left he/she looks furious...

[–]obscure123456789 1 point2 points ago

Needs more lens flare.

[–]vibrant_crab 0 points1 point ago

New wallpaper. W00t.

[–]Kage_Kaldaka 0 points1 point ago

I wish I had heterochromia...

[–]wallwhore 0 points1 point ago

That's a cheetah, not a Mesmer

[–]AndrewNeo 0 points1 point ago

No, it's a leopard.

[–]Ccracked 0 points1 point ago

All hail the Hypno-cat!

[–]TehAlphaMale 1 point2 points ago

Mesmer-lies. Fake.

[–]OptimusImperator 0 points1 point ago

The leopard is looking into your soul and saying "your soul is mine, human." Otherwise it is a very good shot.

[–]Roshinsky 1 point2 points ago

Artemis Fowl. That is all.

[–]Rattlesnakedick -1 points0 points ago

YES. That's exactly what I thought of, haha.

[–]cloned_again 0 points1 point ago

Oh well. Got a new desktop wallpaper out of it! http://i.imgur.com/QHF6G.jpg

[–]madoog 0 points1 point ago

Good call.

[–]sqazm 0 points1 point ago

More like portaleyes, right guys????

[–]theresanapp4this 0 points1 point ago

[–]madoog 0 points1 point ago

TIL a leopard can change its spots...to stripes.

[–]alecmrtn217 0 points1 point ago

fuck it. upvote for cool eyes.

[–]SatanicAng3L 1 point2 points ago

Could someone photoshop the 1920x1080 to look just like this? It would make an amazing background. TIA!

[–]panzerdriver -2 points-1 points ago

That's lame.

[–]Chr1z1 -1 points0 points ago

downvote. U can see this looks shopped! Here`s the original http://cdn.jootix.com/upload/DesktopWallpapers/storage/Cheetah-animal-cheetah.jpg

[–]madoog 0 points1 point ago

That's not a cheetah though. This is.

[–]squishyturtle 1 point2 points ago

This reminds me of Horus, an egyptian god. You guys should know his eyes are two different colors. amazing pic by the way.
