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.

[–]nexusaspect 1 point2 points ago

Actually, it looks like that terrible drawing of Harry Potter that was on the front page a few days ago.

[–]pguyette 5 points6 points ago

You should totally post this on /r/Pareidolia. I see a skull in the middle of that flower. Its awesome and creepy at the same time.

[–]yentlequible 14 points15 points ago

I am pretty sure that everyone sees the skull.

[–]okmkz 8 points9 points ago

A dead flower is a sad flower.

[–]botlegger 3 points4 points ago

What a great pic to start off a day on Reddit!

[–]ISawThePhotograph -1 points0 points ago

'shopped I can tell by the pixels.

[–]botlegger 4 points5 points ago

Still nice work though

[–]ChocolateYoghurt 0 points1 point ago

Real/unreal, looks nice yes :)

[–]michellen 0 points1 point ago

[–]Naryn_Tin-Ahhe 0 points1 point ago

Achenar, you don't need to hide behind a username. We all know it's you!

[–]UPVOTEMONDAY 1 point2 points ago

If I wasn't so tired I'd think of the obvious Rolling Stones or Big Lebowski reference for easy karma.

[–]VernonDent 0 points1 point ago

I know you think you're the queen of the underground.

[–]17Hongo 1 point2 points ago

I won't forget to put roses on your grave.

[–]skeeto111 0 points1 point ago

Its a Grateful Dead reference lol

[–]UPVOTEMONDAY 0 points1 point ago

Dead Flowers is a Rolling Stones song and was covered in the film Big Lebowski. Other than a skull, I don't see a Greateful Dead reference.

[–]skeeto111 0 points1 point ago

Well The Grateful Dead have the Skeleton/Skull and The rose as their two most common visual motifs. To see both of those combined into one image (a flower skull) was pretty dope.

[–]Hungry_Alcoholic 0 points1 point ago

Damn nature you scary.

[–]mindlessly_wittsend 0 points1 point ago

Someone with some artistic talent need to make a tattoo of this.

[–]cheery_cherry -1 points0 points ago

I'd love to see the original vs. the shopped one. but really cool regardless.

[–]CakeSmasher 0 points1 point ago

Ghost rider becomes a pacifist.

[–]grahamalx 0 points1 point ago

[–]CheezNBaconMan 0 points1 point ago

Dead flower sounds like the most emo band ever...

[–]skeeto111 1 point2 points ago

Perfect representation of The Grateful Dead.

The beauty of life and death in one image. Powerful.

[–]u_torn 0 points1 point ago

Dread* Flower

[–]Lythysis 0 points1 point ago

Still looks better than some of the vaginas in porn.

[–]ba14 0 points1 point ago

I don't know, maybe it was the roses All I know, I could not leave her there

-Hunter

[–]iamamonsterAMA 0 points1 point ago

I totally did not see the skull and could not figure out why everyone upvoted this.

[–]a-wild-derpette 0 points1 point ago

Yea just a dead fl..O.O AHH!!!!!!!!!

[–]TotFacienda -4 points-3 points ago

Does anyone else realise that it looks like a skull? Don't believe me? Google "skull" and print (file and then print) and then put the paper next to a print of this pic and you'll see they look pretty similar

[–]henfruit 4 points5 points ago

That's the point.

[–]TotFacienda 0 points1 point ago

Yes I know. I was being facetious. Sorry

[–]henfruit 0 points1 point ago

Haha, okay :P
