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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Isn't the "everything else" set empty?

[–]noveltydraw 7 points8 points ago

Well, you have the things that aren't. In the twilight zone.

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points ago

welcome to... the twilight zone.

[–]HodorSaidWhat 12 points13 points ago

you're entering...the scary door.

[–]Blueeyeddummy -3 points-2 points ago

Your.... about..... to enter...............the scary door.

[–]Big-Baby-Jesus 2 points3 points ago

That was my first though. I think the post is intended to say that nature is more beautiful than anything fictional, either photoshops or full CGI.

[–]TheDataWhore 5 points6 points ago

Isn't the CGI that we create just as natural as a nest a bird made?

[–]Fishbone_V 1 point2 points ago

TECHNOLOGY IS UNNATURAL AND SHOULD BE DESTROYED!

Edit: I immediately regret my decision to place my foot into my television.

[–]centerbleep 0 points1 point ago

it is matey, it so is... (: glad someone else sees that... there is no technology vs. nature... however, there is science vs. art (and their seperation is becoming a growing problem... ) [reality is an intelligence test]

[–]ThisRedditorIsDrunk 2 points3 points ago

Depends on which definition "nature" one uses. For instance, nature can mean that which is not artificial. A skyscrape can be called natural in a very obtuse sense of the word but, at that point, the word loses value. The title obviously is referring to "the great outdoors" definition.

(Really? Downvotes? Sorry for using reason)

[–]SatanicBug 5 points6 points ago

I was going to upvote you but then you complained about being downvoted.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

I wasn't going to downvote you then you misconstrued complaining about people disagreeing with a statement that is completely reasonable to complaining about receiving downvotes. Downvotes are just the manifestation of people disliking your post, I highly doubt anyone cares about having valueless points removed from their profile, however, witnessing people actively disagreeing with a reasonable statement is disconcerting.

[–]SatanicBug 0 points1 point ago

Except what he actually said was "Really? Downvotes?". In what way is that not complaining about receiving downvotes?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

It's pretty simple, I felt like I explained it fairly well but apparently you're too autistic/literal to understand concepts outside of your narrow understanding of reddit language.

[–]SatanicBug 0 points1 point ago

You felt like you explained it very well. And really? Autism? That's your go to insult? You are a bad person.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I'm a pretty bad person and I'm ok with that.

[–]Fairchild660 -5 points-4 points ago

Only if you don't believe in the supernatural.

[–]towski 42 points43 points ago

Nature = Everything else

[–]waeva 10 points11 points ago

Thus nature won the debate against nurture.

[–]thepwnguin 3 points4 points ago

Nurture is a subset of nature.

[–]Mugtrees 2 points3 points ago

Everything Else ∈ Nature

[–]tins1 -2 points-1 points ago

Exactly what I was gonna post

[–]asimshamim 11 points12 points ago

Just another Oblivion gate that needs closing

[–]shifrit 6 points7 points ago

[–]jumbo-shrimp 11 points12 points ago

Sample pictures.... Really dude?

[–]holycheddar 11 points12 points ago

[–]uncleRusty 4 points5 points ago

Also, Reminds me of a F-ZERO race track

[–]Swagofthecentury 2 points3 points ago

You reposting son of a bitch!

[–]blinding 2 points3 points ago

This is a repost

[–]MaxOpower 4 points5 points ago

Photoshop > Nature > Everything else

[–]Hipponomics 1 point2 points ago

correct!

[–]uncleRusty 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for giving me a new desktop background

[–]_Raptor_ 1 point2 points ago

It's cause the god's painted it with their tools.

HAIL ZEUS!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

At least Zeu's knew the difference between plural's and possessive's.

[–]_Raptor_ 0 points1 point ago

And that's why I excelled at math and not my first language.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

If it makes you feel any better I am the worst at mathematics.

Can't play an instrument to save my life, either.

[–]Yellerdog15 1 point2 points ago

You also don't seem to grasp the concept of apostrophes.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

S'eriou'sly?

[–]CoolMcDouche 1 point2 points ago

High Res???

[–]porter7o 1 point2 points ago

What is funny about this is that most of the 'pretty' colors we see around sunset are due to man made things that emitted so many nasty things into the atmosphere... still beautiful.

[–]steffon 1 point2 points ago

but as a proof, showing photoshopped (HDR) picture is not best idea...

[–]Vee_Vee 1 point2 points ago

Cool picture, but your'e title ruins it completely.

[–]rad_thundercat 1 point2 points ago

Over-saturation. This kills the photograph. :(

[–]kennious 1 point2 points ago

Reposts < Everything else.

[–]Verdictlesslife 4 points5 points ago

[–]eherr3 1 point2 points ago

Nature ⊃ Everything Else

[–]rewff 1 point2 points ago

But can it run crysis?

[–]seriouslyyyy 1 point2 points ago

You mean photoshop.

[–]GrotesDZs 0 points1 point ago

that's always exactly what i think whenever i see a picture of a landscape or sunset on the front page of r/pics...which is like everyday.

[–]mottese 0 points1 point ago

While this probably was photoshopped, it's actually not too far off of what you can really see. I don't know where this was taken, but I live in New Mexico, and you'll get a sunset or two very similar to this every year.

[–]chipandpeach 0 points1 point ago

Don't know when you're being downvoted...this picture has clearly gone through some serious post-processing.

[–]Roboticide 1 point2 points ago

Wow, those Diablo III graphics really are amazing. Can't wait to get it.

[–]fas3630 0 points1 point ago

It's not too often you get all this neatness in one place. That's called nature.

[–]thenatureofthings 0 points1 point ago

I just want to start a flame in your heart.

"That is so true!"...clicks reddit links for the next 4 hours without leaving the house...

[–]tatanka_truck 0 points1 point ago

[–]Cendeu 0 points1 point ago

What are you doing in Kvatch?

[–]Bladelink 0 points1 point ago

That sky is all "bitch, I can rain fire on you anytime I want."

[–]KrunoS 0 points1 point ago

Nature is everything.

[–]Knackweed 0 points1 point ago

Boobs.

[–]TheMartinConan 0 points1 point ago

We ARE nature.

[–]swankypander 0 points1 point ago

sorry dude, but is there anything else than nature? Like even "unnatural" things like plastic are stil natural, they can occur in nature

[–]Pumpernickell 0 points1 point ago

If the picture is edited than its not nature...

[–]PawFox 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the game Dizzy.

[–]Max_Beezly 0 points1 point ago

Tits > Nature

[–]SamReidn 0 points1 point ago

[–]AxelCaprio 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if this is what Edward Munch saw when he painted Scream.

[–]blueblur 0 points1 point ago

How about this shot of nature being awesome: http://imgur.com/r/pics/Qc1Dq

[–]baropithecus 0 points1 point ago

White balance * Saturation > Everything else.

[–]joshak 0 points1 point ago

I'll have to take your word for it.

[–]Cheesio 0 points1 point ago

Even the internet? LIES.

[–]Niggabackstabber 0 points1 point ago

I'm fairly sure that nature doen't have internet

[–]Rallerboy888 0 points1 point ago
