Poor Image: Death By Irony

What the current is, is fine. It's just horribly artifacted IMHO.

Baring a simple quality swap, I pose This,◊ image of a "Lowrider Crushed by Lampost."

How is that ironic, though?

Ah yes, an explanation...

Well in general the ultimate goal◊ of lowriders, be it whatever kind of ride they have, traditionally has always been to go as low and slow as possible, (Bajito y Suavecito◊).

With that in mind, a lamp-post just crushed the car that was customized to get as low to the ground as possible.

Not to mention, the fact that the owner just dropped a ton on the car, spending a small fortune in custom work, before this happened!

I don't think most people are aware of the "rules" of lowriders, so to someone to me that's just a regular pic of a crushed car with no irony in sight.

Yeah, I think that's way too subtle.

I don't see anything wrong with the current.

Ditto.

And the suggestion is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too obtuse. It requires knowledge of low-riders and, apparently knowledge of specific lampposts which is... not horribly well-known.

Fine, can't blame a guy for trying... but can we at least get a quality swap ofthe the current then?

It doesn't look artifacted to me, it looks painted. That said, if someone can find an actual photo that replicates the scenario, that might look better.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested for current.

Yeah, definitely Keep Until Better Image Suggested on the current.

Well, here's some good ones!...

1◊, 2◊, 3◊, slighty better current◊

And I'd really like permission for this one. But, It's with the DCLOC

Aww, how sad. :(

I think the first one there is alright. The second is too close for comfort for me at least. The angle of both might be irksome.

Gosh, I didn't know this was such a problem for beavers.

Now that I've seen the current at full size and know for sure it's a painting, I'm still good with it. However, I found a clean version of the third one in and cropped it.

The beaver is rather far from the base where it was gnawing. It makes me wonder how it all the way over there when it died. 1-Dimensional Thinking?

But it's still facing the trunk. Unless the beaver moves backwards, unlikely.

I personally prefer the painting. The visual arrangement strikes me as better.

Hmm...Yeah, I agree. The bigger painting looks pretty good.

The beaver in the photo got tricked by one of his dam-mates. "Hey, Bucky, c'mere!" "What's up?" "You'll see..."

I do not think the beaver in the photo is convincingly dead tbh. He looks like he could just be crawling under the trunk to me.

I think so too. But it is the least graphic of them so perhaps that's why it is most favored at the moment... not that I have a problem with bloody beaver bodies on this website. <_<

Uh... yeah.

I think he's dead enough. I mean... who's gonna come along and help him? The photographer? The painter?

I mean, he probably is dead, I just do not think the picture makes it super clear.

Wait.

How is a beaver getting killed by a tree it wrecked ironic?

lol
