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.

The image for All Art Is Autobiographical doesn't seem particularly illustrative to me. Without the caption, there'd be no way of telling that one scene was real and the other a play unless you had already watched the show yourself.

[up] Agreed, it's relying on the caption to get the meaning of the pic across.

it wasn't in the relevant folder for This Image Is Not an Example, so i figured not. we could definitely have one that's more obviously just a pun.

This thread is for asking other people's opinion about images that you don't think are good, and its purpose is to reduce the number of threads that ends up with the majority of people voting to keep. To suggest an image to a page that doesn't have one, use the Image Suggestion Thread.

Is Formerly Sapient Species intuitive enough without the caption?

I was a bit split at first, but I’m leaning Keep Until Better Image Suggested. The caption does do quite a bit of explaining, but with the context provided in mind, I can easily identify the figure being used as a mount as some sort of de-evolved human, while the rider is inversely some sort of sapient lizard creature. Yes, Sapient Steed exists, but the human-like creature being mounted certainly doesn’t look intelligent.

[up][up] The caption and image are allowed to work as a team. You do see both on the page, after all. Caption-reliant is only a problem when the image adds nothing and the caption does all the work.

Does Moral Dilemma show two options being considered? I don't think it's even an example in context.

She's blond and giving the camera a spaced-out look. It's not the best, but I wouldn't pull without a replacement.

[up] The usurping part doesn't come across, the alpha bitch part is extremely weak relying on the preppy clothes I can sort of see it but it's weak.
