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.

A quality upgrade might help. Failing that, we can always open a thread.
Any better?

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.does the image for Uncanny Valley Makeup really illustrate? honestly she looks normal to me.
it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...
She has some odd makeup, but I don't find it uncanny valley either.
Is the image on Sucky Summer way too vague for anyone else? Someone brought up
a concern about it on the draft FWIW.
I don't think I'd get Sucky Summer if I didn't know the context from the movie.
Yeah, it kinda looks like a nice summer scene out of context.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSo anyone want to start a thread? Because I… got nothing. I may just have to vote on this one.
Actually, I may have something. May I share it here before we have a formal thread?

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.
I have an idea for Sucky Summer but we'll need to wait for a thread slot.
Any thoughts on Army of The Ages? I'm seeing one warrior from one war, whereas the trope is about many warriors from many different wars throughout the ages (it's a time travel trope, essentially).

There’s an open slot or two right now if you wanna propose your suggestion?
Do we feel the romance in Dance of Romance? If not, I can think of an image from Beauty and the Beast that might fit better. Otherwise, we would just need to upgrade it.
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.

I think the romance comes across find, so don't see any reason to change it.
Just gave it a quality upgrade.
Knowing very little about Star Trek, I don't really understand the images/captions for The Spock, The Kirk, and The McCoy, especially the latter. Feels like they rely too much on prior understanding of the characters? The only one I kinda get is The Spock.

I'm pretty sure that's an old case of Admin Fiat, similar to the Five-Man Band.
I think it would be good to have a thread on these, yes. Having a clearer image on e.g. The Spock would clarify if it is (a) token alien on a human crew, (b) character who always acts logically, or (c) character with mindmeld and paralysis powers (because Spock himself is all three of those, but the trope likely is meant to be only one of them).
Making a note to open a thread for Hero, Rival, Friend Trio when there's an open spot, since it's JAFAAC.

When there's space we should make a thread.
