Rules

1. Images only (obviously).

But meta posts without images are allowed.

2. Pictures only

This community is for pictures. Merriam-Webster defines a picture as “a painting, drawing, or photograph of someone or something.” However, this community will extend this definition. Digital forms such as 3D render are allowed. Abstract art forms that do not represent anything are also allowed.

3. No distracting superimposed text or emoji

Generally, you should be able to appreciate a post without being able to read.

4. No low quality MS paint-esque drawings

5. Remember to follow lemmy.ml sitewide rules

You can find them on the sidebar of the homepage

It's pretty amazing. Something about the symmetry of it, the faux-orderliness of the embossed fonts against the stark blue defiant scrawl, the crowd of people in the distance against the few cops in the foreground. The upwards curve of capitol hill building vs the downward curve of the hats of the cops. The blue sky and text imploring clarity and freedom vs the brown uniforms and dead grass.

All of it incidental, but captured like it was a planned painting. There's more I'm sure I'm missing, but yeah, this is an amazing photo.
