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.

Is it bad that my eyes didn't see it as a moving image?

[–]A_Cylon_Raider 1 point2 points ago

I don't either. Are you colorblind? Does being colorblind have anything to do with this? Tough questions. We'll find out next time on /r/pics Investigations with Barbara Walters.

[–]Necritica 1 point2 points ago

If you don't focus your eyes on it, you won't see the optical illusion of the colors swirling. I'm thinking you two may need glasses, but I am nowhere near expert and this is just something I noticed.

may need glasses

I'm a decade or two ahead of you bud.

Took a photo of it to make sure. OP speaks truths.

[–]rustymoo -1 points0 points ago

No you're wrong, it is a gif! It's just made to stop in the spots I look at directly

[–]MissChrisi -1 points0 points ago

It's not animated, it only moves if you look at it with both eyes. Close one eye and it doesn't move. Very cool.

...as opposed to a non-animated gif?

[–]pdmcmahon[S] 0 points1 point ago

Such things exist, you know.

GIFs can be still pictures, too
