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.

I had no idea the Weeping Angels were cannibals.

He shouldn't have blinked.

It's interesting to see the Not-Quite-Right anatomy of the peri-Renaissance. He knows there are ribs and a lower costal margin, but doesn't quite have a sense of how that's supposed to happen internally. It's like looking at paintings pre-Mona Lisa and seeing how atmospheric perspective wasn't a "thing" yet.

By his very nature, the guy's a necrophiliac.

Soooooo how the hell did anyone sculpt individual FEATHERS from stone?

[–]throwaway56329 2 points3 points ago

People didn't have TV or smartphones back then, carving feathers was their idea of a good time.

[–]iamadogforreal 1 point2 points ago

The same way the greeks did realistic drapery and feathers - practice. It also help that your patron had the power to get you killed or at least jailed without trial if you screwed up.

This is an amazing statue, probably the coolest one I have ever seen. =)
