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.

[up]Not to me


The image for Creating Life Is Bad shows the creation of life, but does it really show how it's, well, bad?

[up] The body that's getting up is contorted and screaming in pain, the scientist looks horrified and like he's filled with regret and it's in a grimy setting with random skulls on the window ledge. None of that screams "good".

I didnt say it looked good, I was just wondering if it looked sufficiently bad. To me it looks painful and stressful, but in the same way giving birth does.

Eh, still not a bad image

None of it tells "is bad" to me out of context.

As for Mountaintop Healthcare I think it would benefit from a closer crop and a quality upgrade so you can see there's nurses with their patients.

Like this perhaps:

[up][up] Eh, still just sort of misses the mark for me. Now it just looks like some sort of country club. The white uniforms help but aren't really what I most associate with "hopsital" or other Healthcare facilities.

If I look real closely I can sort of see what's happening, but the relevant details are way too tiny and scattered.

Does Narm.James Bond really sale "serious moment that becomes funny" out of context?

[up][up] Yeah, that's pretty funny, but there's nothing indicating this is supposed to be a serious moment. Would support a pull if brought to a thread.

Yeah it just looks like a Sad Clown which if anything implies international mixing of funny with sad/dramatic to me rather than unintentional.
