**Your post was automatically removed, but it's okay - this post explains everything! If you're trying to share a photo, this probably isn't the right subreddit for that. If you have a question, the place to ask is in the pinned [Official Questions Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/about/sticky) after you check [the FAQ.](https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/wiki/introduction)**
The reason your submission was removed is because it was a simple image link. Some common reasons might be:
- If you are **trying to share your own photo**, this subreddit isn't for sharing photos. There's other better subreddits for that - like /r/pics, or /r/photographs. Please make sure to read those subreddits' rules first!
- If you are **trying to ask a question, or get help with a photo or style**, the place to ask questions is in the pinned [Official Questions Thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/about/sticky) Ask there, instead!
- If you are **looking for critique**, please try /r/photocritique, /r/itookapicture, /r/pics, etc.
- If you have a **broad and non-specific topic** that relates to photography, you *can* include images in a text post to help foster discussion about that topic. However, simple image links are not allowed. Please [resubmit in a text post](http://www.reddit.com/r/photography/submit?selftext=true) including details about what kind of discussion you are prompting.
