This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.

For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

There's no indication in the Technically Living Zombie image that the guys are actually alive. I think it's practically impossible to illustrate this trope with an image.

I can understand what it's going for, but it's weak.

[up] There is construction going on during the conversation, but it's too far in the background to see.

It's not apparent that construction noise impedes a conversation.

I'm thinking of suggesting an alternate image for Didn't Think This Through, which I feel illustrates the trope better than the current one (which feels highly caption reliant)

Do we have permission to use Fully-Clothed Nudity? I looked through the thread but couldn't find anything and the artist Tumblr link is dead.

[up][up] Why? We don't need to replace images unless there's something wrong with them. You can just make an Image Links page.

I think this has been discussed before but is Afraid of Needles fan art? Looks like it comes from this Pixiv:

[up] Not exactly I think there's enough body language and expression there... just though and it could be improved.

[up][up] 100%

[up] I think it illustrates a sense of wonder, but falls short of the "naive" and "everygirl" aspects. (Though to be fair part of that may be due to me getting distracted by thinking of Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises, since Amy Adams comes this close to pulling off a real life version.)

Does Tender Tears illustrate? In fairness the trope is a bit difficult to get a read on as a lot of the examples are just "character cries".

In Place of an Eye - The trope is supposed to be about objects being in an eye socket instead of an eye, but one of the images (top right corner) looks like a picture of a girl with coral attached to her glasses, not her eye.

[up][up] Yeah, that’s nigh-unreadable.

[up] I know you’re the creator of the page, but I don’t see why that would be disqualified. It might just be part of the glasses, but it has the same visual effect, which I’d argue is more essential than literally being part of the eye.

I'm not saying it HAS to be removed. I'm just asking, as someone who's never seen that cartoon, what the context is.

[up] The installment she's in (Dream BBQ) hasn't been released yet. There's no way how anyone would know the context.

As someone who does know ENA, there will be no context or explanation. It's a trippy, nonsensical series.
