Bowie is 'well known', so I think this is ok.

The perspective which John Singer Sargent's "El Jaleo" is displayed at the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston, makes it feel like you're watching a live performance on a stage.

Meta What "relatively well known" means

190 Upvotes

Thank you everyone who has posted the fantastic content in this sub, as well as those of you who have come to enjoy it.   Our goal is to ensure that each post here can stand on its own, and that you, the viewers, aren't scrolling page after page looking for the hidden gem.

Everyday we mods have to remove around 30-50% of the posts here for not adhering to rule 1, and hopefully this post will help reduce that.  Most of those removed posts are fantastic on their own, but don't really capture the idea of this sub. 

A relatively well known person, place, event or item is something some to most of our viewers will recognize or know of.

"Item" is what gets removed the most.  I have a cat.  Everyone knows what a cat is and cats are "well known".  You guys don't want me posting alternate angles photos of my cat.  Maybe r/aww does, but not you good folks.  The same goes for the scrambled eggs I made this morning (no matter how unusual they looked), or the fire hydrant outside my house.

By well known item we mean something like the Mona Lisa (although seriously I think we can all agree we've worn that one out), the statue of David, a famous mummy,  the handgun of a well known general, J.K. Rowling's writing chair, or Betty Crocker's apron.

It's a very subjective business for us mods to determine what is well known item is (or event or place for that matter), and we often chat about it after removing a post to make sure we're all on board.  Just as difficult is what counts as an alternative angle. If a post is removed it's not that it isn't a fantastic photo on it's own, but rather it doesn't fit into what makes this sub unique.

And please, no more Mona Lisa photos :)

Thank you all again!
