Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

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.

No one knows what it's like to be the bad cat

To be the sad cat

[–]TheGizmojo 35 points36 points ago

No one knows what it's like. To chase the red dot, like I do. And I blame you!

Your Comment, Sir/Ma'am

Warning: Singing

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 8 points9 points ago

You are amazing and making my day :) THANK YOU!

[–]runnergunner 4 points5 points ago

Your voice is awesome

[–]thesevmancometh 1 point2 points ago

First I asked myself, why does this exist? Then I realized, thank God it does.

[–]fearlesspancake 7 points8 points ago

What's this a reference to? It sounds kind of familiar.

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 16 points17 points ago

The Who - "Behind Blue Eyes"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9-3RZkzpwM

[–]Neamow 14 points15 points ago

Am I the only one who likes the Limp Bizkit version more? No, I haven't heard it first, and no, I'm not a Limp Bizkit fan. Sometimes the original is not the best.

[–]TDWP_FTW 18 points19 points ago

Yes

[–]realfinkployd 2 points3 points ago

You know, I will give credit to them for doing a very good cover, marred by the freaking speak and spell bridge that was totally unnecessary and prevents me from considering this song for inclusion in the list of remakes that are better than the originals

Current population: All Along the Watchtower, Blinded by the Light, and There's No Way Out of Here.

[–]Antidote 1 point2 points ago

What about With a Little Help From My Friends?

[–]realfinkployd 0 points1 point ago

Crap, you are correct, that is an omission.

[–]Neamow 0 points1 point ago

I have McCreary's version of All Along the Watchtower as my ringtone. It's an amazing song.

[–]Neamow 0 points1 point ago

Also, you should consider adding Running Up That Hill to the population. The Placebo's version is simply awesome and Within Temptation's version was my gateway drug to symphonic metal.

[–]wormyrocks 0 points1 point ago

COME ON BABY

COME ON COME ON DARLING

[–]jpdyno 0 points1 point ago

Pretty small list man, what about Johnny Cash - Hurt?

[–]masters_in_fail 9 points10 points ago

You are the only one.

[–]Baker_The 1 point2 points ago

Not at all, people tend to jump on the hate train as soon as you say that though. As unexpected as it is,, Fred Durst did an amazing job covering the song.

[–]itsableeder 0 points1 point ago

Nope. I prefer the Limp Bizkit version too, and I'm a massive fan of The Who.

[–]m1327 -4 points-3 points ago

You're right. I think the Fred Durst version is way better than the Who's version.. Have my upvote.

[–]knalbtniop -1 points0 points ago

I like the who version better but that part at the end of limp bizkits cover is pretty sick. L...I....M....P

[–]henrybear 5 points6 points ago

I am happy, yet disappointed that nobody built on this.

[–]I_HATE_SHARK_WEEK 10 points11 points ago

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 1 point2 points ago

I gave it a go :)

[–]muffdiver69 3 points4 points ago

haha i love led zepplin

[–]red321red321 5 points6 points ago

I'm praying that this is a joke.

[–]ArtVNO 2 points3 points ago

I put the lead singer of Led Zep's face on the cat

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

You're clearly a huge "led zepplin" fan.

[–]womandad 24 points25 points ago

Oh so michael bay is casting cats in his movies now

[–]twitch1982 10 points11 points ago

This cat is like the spirit animal for Autumn. Like, You can have nymphs and fairies for spring, maybe a phoenix for summer, a wolf for winter, and this cat for fall.

[–]ThatGasolineSmell 26 points27 points ago

  1. Open pic in Photoshop
  2. Image -> Mode -> Lab Color
  3. Image -> Adjustments -> Curves…
  4. Select "Channel: b" and give that bitch a nice S-curve
  5. …
  6. PROFIT

[–]jeaton 54 points55 points ago

Wow it really accentuates the blue. Simply amazing.

[–]vuxa 31 points32 points ago

Love that watermark

[–]R0CKET_B0MB 6 points7 points ago

holy shit my eyes why would you do that

[–]WorknForTheWeekend -1 points0 points ago

To stick it to smug jaded redditers?

EDIT: Seems this picture is indeed a 'shop. I'll go be quiet over here now....

[–]mySTASH 19 points20 points ago

For people wondering what the "S-curve" looks like: http://i.imgur.com/7zYdm.gif

Personally, I think the original colder look is better, considering the dominance of earthly colors in the image. Add a slight blue accent, up the contrast a bit, and you get this: http://i.imgur.com/cgBmR.jpg

[–]K4ntum 6 points7 points ago

You forgot step 0 : Buy Photoshop for 1K.

[–]PretendCasual 8 points9 points ago

You forgot torrents.

[–]gravity_plan 0 points1 point ago

thepiratebay master suite, for pussies!

[–]foxh8er 2 points3 points ago

That's for suckers.

I just download the trial and get a patch.

Get the software from the motherfucker's own turf.

[–]lfgbrd 3 points4 points ago

I went to college to get a student discount on it. I ended up saving money that way.

[–]Capetian_dynasty 20 points21 points ago

I brought photoshop for 1K and shopped a college diploma. I ended up saving money that way.

[–]foxh8er 1 point2 points ago

And now you have to redo your Bachelors in Colorado...

Classic Winger.

You can actually subscribe to Adobe products:

[–]I_Saw_Drones 6 points7 points ago

Ah, that lovely time of year when the kittens change color to a lovely harvest gold.

[–]Captain_Airstrip_One 5 points6 points ago

That means they're ripe.

[–]I_Saw_Drones 4 points5 points ago

Mmm, freshly-picked kitten.

[–]Sord432 10 points11 points ago

The spice must flow

[–]bulletbillx 3 points4 points ago

[–]snermy 5 points6 points ago

Why do people insist on posting someone else's photo (run through some Photoshop adjustments) without crediting the original photographer?

[–]chambuzz 0 points1 point ago

Because most people on here don't realize what's been edited/shooped. They just go: "OOOOOHHHH pretty kitty!"

I'm with you btw. Don't know of any subreddits where that might be resolved though.

[–]fadedseaside 8 points9 points ago

It seems heavily altered or enhanced, and as a result my only point of comparison is this fellow.

[–]vnkid 6 points7 points ago

I'm trying hard to see if there's a hidden image in the reflection of his eyes. Somebody enhance?

[–]AngryMooseButt 16 points17 points ago

My god, you're right!

[–]Guano_Loco 5 points6 points ago

There's something fishy here.

[–]EatPrayQueef 2 points3 points ago

This cat is fashionably in season.

[–]holy_repost_batman 14 points15 points ago

The classic Orange/Blue contrast.

[–]Jest0riz0r 4 points5 points ago

Where's Portal?!

[–]d4doodle 5 points6 points ago

Just look at a pair of upvotes and downvotes...

...everywhere.

[–]literallyallah -1 points0 points ago

Probably because they're the too go-to warm and cold colours

[–]fuckingcaptcha 0 points1 point ago

Do you think that it's a coincidence that most of those movies are flaming piles of shit?

[–]JennM42 0 points1 point ago

There was a thread about this the other day. Was trying to find the link to it... Some things cannot be unseen.

[–]Redreject 14 points15 points ago

Being a ginger, I feel a strong connection to this cat.

[–]SouLxSHIFT 3 points4 points ago

I've never met a ginger that doesn't have glowing blue eyes.

[–]lackofagoodname 1 point2 points ago

mine are hazel.

[–]Redreject 0 points1 point ago

I cannot say the same, since I have blue-green eyes.

[–]SouLxSHIFT 1 point2 points ago

Well, bright blue or bright green. My point is, Louis CK is the only ginger I know of with brown eyes.

[–]coolstorybroham 0 points1 point ago

What about Conan?

[–]dandollar -3 points-2 points ago

how can you connect with no soul

[–]Redreject 1 point2 points ago

Good question. Gingers connect with fellow gingers through the mind, since we lack a soul. This cat is a member of the ginger family, hence I can connect with it.

[–]theshame25 2 points3 points ago

I doubt that cat was orange. I think it was a different color cat, but they edited it to make the eyes look more blue.

[–]ferwick 8 points9 points ago

I agree....there are no fall leaves where i am right now, based on that i suspect it is a green cat with purple eyes.

[–]slingbladerunner 0 points1 point ago

I was actually thinking I doubt that cat has blue eyes. I've seen a lot of cats, and I've never seen orange + blue. The only cats I've seen with blue eyes have been mostly or all white. Or this cat is some kind of genetic anomaly.

Source: I have cats.

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 2 points3 points ago

Many kittens are born with blue eyes and then they change to green over a few weeks.

[–]slingbladerunner 0 points1 point ago

Right, and how old does that cat look? At least two months, well beyond blue-eye phase.

[–]BarristerBitch 0 points1 point ago

I had an orange kitten with blue eyes, but they changed to greenish after a month or so.

[–]ZimaKA 0 points1 point ago

They are rare, but blue-eyed orange cats do exist. Cooper the "cat photographer" is a good example.

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 0 points1 point ago

I used to have an orange cat like that.

[–]not4u2see 2 points3 points ago

Fall kitty likes the fall.

[–]PENDRAGON23 0 points1 point ago

Nice pussy.

[–]ashleyfoy 2 points3 points ago

I feel like this cat must be named Pumpkin.

[–]MuffBurglar69 2 points3 points ago

First cat picture I've enjoyed on Reddit. Upvote.

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 2 points3 points ago

Best compliment I've ever gotten on here :) thank you!

[–]drunxor 1 point2 points ago

Do you have a higher resolution?

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 1 point2 points ago

Can't say I do as it is not my pic, just post :( someone located original in comments

[–]AkaSillyGirl[S] 1 point2 points ago

Btw, I just came across image & did not know where original came from, so I'm glad someone else found it :)

[–]Momentumjam 3 points4 points ago

What kind of a kitty is this? The contrast between his eyes and his fur is striking.

[–]DeusExMachinist 33 points34 points ago

A photoshop kitty.

[–]ubomw 6 points7 points ago

The original source seems to be here. It's all in Russian and automatic translation didn't help.

[–]Cory1750 1 point2 points ago

That's the point. Orange and blue is an annoying trend in media used to make stuff pop. But once you notice it it will annoy you forever. I had to stop watching the movie columbiana last night because of it. It is very common now.

[–]audiomechanic 2 points3 points ago

I hate when they put well known, good actors in movies. It's hard to suspend my disbelief when I've seen someone play dozens of different characters. That's why I only watch small independent films that no one's ever heard of.

[–]Viviparous 0 points1 point ago

Aryan cat

[–]bipolar_sky_fairy 2 points3 points ago

Saturation. I haz it.

[–]CantStopTHISasian 1 point2 points ago

if a girl had that shade of blue in her eyes...so pretty

[–]Yogpod 1 point2 points ago

Man a Ludafinian landscape. I love that type of landscape, a yellow bright field with a blue sky without a cloud, a picket fence. And offcourse the big tree.

[–]Gaminic 1 point2 points ago

So is that the teal & orange people were talking about?

[–]pzich 0 points1 point ago

Yup

[–]kalibcrone -1 points0 points ago

Majestic eyeballs

[–]shorty6049 1 point2 points ago

The thumbnail looked like some sort of abstract Marge Simpson.

[–]gech87 1 point2 points ago

Looking at the thumbnail, it looks like the cat has a beard.

[–]Allastair 0 points1 point ago

Garfield !

[–]yourbuddyjoe 0 points1 point ago

I hate cats. That is a really awesome picture.

[–]Alidas 0 points1 point ago

i found Garfield

[–]overused-meme-alert -1 points0 points ago

Dat saturation.

woop-woop-weeeeooo

[–]Lurkerhereduh 0 points1 point ago

I want to sex that pussy. Lock me up.

[–]Fonterror 0 points1 point ago

Is it racist to find something beautiful just because it has blue eyes?

[–]HostGG 0 points1 point ago

So awesome!

[–]fgcpoo 0 points1 point ago

And so all of reddit simultaneously creamed there pants.

[–]internpete 0 points1 point ago

I love it that a picture of a cat can make it to the front of reddit, any day of the week. That's what makes reddit great.

[–]joshywins 0 points1 point ago

Never thought I could feel in love with something ginger xD

[–]PredatorRedditer 0 points1 point ago

It's cool because dat fur matches the trees and dem eyes match the sky.

[–]WoodwardFloof 0 points1 point ago

I'd tap that

[–]fahvergnugen -1 points0 points ago

Easy on the HDR and over-saturation sport.

[–]NoShirtNoShoesNoDice 0 points1 point ago

Stay gold, Ponyboy.

[–]SnoochieBoochies182 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for my new desktop wallpaper. That will cheer my ass up on Monday.

[–]semperscio 0 points1 point ago

Oh, wow! That's a cute kitten. It's so little and innocent. The blue sky really brings out the orange on both the kitten and the leaves. Good photograph, AkaSillyGirl!

[–]walking_strange 0 points1 point ago

Ridiculously photogenic cat?

[–]TwistedOneOfFate 0 points1 point ago

Reddit laws : If its a cat, auto-upvote.

[–]the--dud 0 points1 point ago

How this picture probably looked before the Photoshop magic.

[–]mrfoozy 0 points1 point ago

hey I just saw this picture ten minutes ago when I google imaged how to get on the front page of reddit... go figure.

[–]maip23 0 points1 point ago

The thumbnail on my phone made it look like a gigantic cat balloon passing by skyscrapers in the Macy's Day Parade.

[–]drylube 0 points1 point ago

shouldnt this be in /r/aww?

[–]SuperMeatBoi 0 points1 point ago

JUST JUST JUST JUST JUST

[–]DrinkToTheDead -1 points0 points ago

ITT cat fuckers

[–]usarmy973 0 points1 point ago

Even if it is altered, it's a great picture! I love that the leaves match the cat's fur, and that his eyes match the sky. To my knowledge, this is the first time ever that I've posted a comment about a cat picture....

[–]Brinkofdawn 0 points1 point ago

You should x-post this to r/aww

[–]SG-17 0 points1 point ago

I hope that its name is Oka Nieba.

[–]Morningxafter 0 points1 point ago

Wow, I really like the color balances here, the blue eyes and orange of the fur matching the blue sky behind the orange leaves. If you took this, well done! If not, well kudos to the photographer if they ever see this post.

[–]bopbopd 0 points1 point ago

Looks way to unnatural imo.

[–]tiamo4ever 0 points1 point ago

that is an amazing photo ! easily take an award

[–]GeorgeForemanGrillz 0 points1 point ago

What a cute cat!

[–]chriszzz 1 point2 points ago

This isn't /r/aww faggot, no one wants this shit.

[–]michaeljane 0 points1 point ago

The reason why this picture is so stunning is because of the "orange blue" rule which is widely used in movies. I expect a different Redditor to provide the link. ;)

[–]Fuzzywraith 0 points1 point ago

Same colour as the HOLOCAUST

[–]Lord_Attikus -1 points0 points ago

This isn't /r/Awww get the fucking cats off my feed.

[–]thezman51 0 points1 point ago

Do we have any cat experts here to tell what kinda cat this is? Even if the colors are exaggerated this is still a cool looking cat

[–]Gigit1977 0 points1 point ago

That just made it to my desktop background. Thanks for sharing.

[–]johnsbury 0 points1 point ago

skillfully done! you can't even see the head of the nail.

[–]shibalover19 0 points1 point ago

I WANT THAT CAT!

[–]ginandregret 0 points1 point ago

Just like all gingers with blue eyes. Gorgeous.

[–]dhays2000 0 points1 point ago

This is real good work, great composition. Keep up the great work.

[–]misterwizard 0 points1 point ago

That's a really great photo.

[–]furcifers 0 points1 point ago

The composition is excellent but I think it'd be more effective with less saturation. If it were my pic I'd just saturate the eyes a little. The intense saturation reduces the contrast too much just 'cause the fence looks confusingly dull and the kitty and the leaves are too similar in color. Love that cat though. Have a soft spot for orange tabbies.

[–]gabbynelson99 0 points1 point ago

cat model right there

[–]Ghosttwo 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Chucky.

[–]OwenCohen 0 points1 point ago

I'm so tired of posts of pictures of gingers!

[–]darkrai9292 0 points1 point ago

If anyone reads the warriors or used to this picture would remind you of the main character

[–]tonight__you 0 points1 point ago

It's still summer here for some reason. Hardly any trees are changing.

[–]uk2knerf -1 points0 points ago

Its so cute... I actually want to bite it.

[–]herpert 1 point2 points ago

You can't eat cats, Kevin

[–]tympyst 1 point2 points ago

Now that's a good lookin child cat

[–]citrusphoto5 -1 points0 points ago

AHMAGAHD I wanna cuddle it!!!

[–]Captain_Airstrip_One 0 points1 point ago

Are those colours real?

PS It's ok for me to say 'colours' not 'colors'. I'm British.

[–]Hitchie_Rawtin 0 points1 point ago

It's more than okay for you to spell words correctly.

It's a duty! They'll come around eventually.

[–]CrazyOldRussian 0 points1 point ago

I've never seen a cat with such piercing eyes before.

[–]Anal_Fister_Of_Men -1 points0 points ago
