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.

Holy....

Holy fucking shit. This has to be the most amazing water splash I've ever seen, IF this is real.

I took a semester of high speed photography, and did my final project on water splashes. The insane amount of skill/luck required to get a photo like this makes me seriously doubt its realness.

You should check out some of his other stuff, he's pretty incredible. I don't really have any doubts after seeing his body of work. But yeah, it's not luck, here's from his page of the photo:

"This photo is a composite... If you couldn't guess. The green stem and leaves are made up of 6 photos and the flower itself is made up of 11 different photos, so its a 17 shot composite. Another note to mention is the fact that this photo was taken upside down and I just rotated it so the water looks like its flying upwards. Well this was a fun and messy shoot, also an expensive one hahaha what with the $80 glass rose, I was pretty worried that it would fall and break on me during the shoot but luckily it didn't."

Well, that would explain it. Still incredibly impressive either way, although I feel a bit deceived.

You feel a bit deceived? On behalf of the general public, i'd like to welcome you to the internet. I'm not sure if you are going to fit in here.

Well, I know it's not rational to feel that way, as he clearly posted that quote on his page...

I'm weird.

Awesome. The artist has done a bunch of other really cool stuff as well:

I know my way around photoshop a fair bit, but I don't know how that's done

How? I see his setup and still don't get it. I think he poured water over a glass rose and painted in PS, but still....how?
