Here's another option.

@ Willbyr: Probably just go ahead with the crowner; we've got about 5 options and the thread's several days old.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

[up][up] It has, but now it's cropped and at wiki size, which is a good thing.

Brightened the Link/Ganon image in 26 and swapped it into the crowner.

Not really fond of the Star Wars one — I can't really tell they're actually doing a tug-of-war Blade Lock and not, say, just randomly crossing sabers like they do 3 times per second.

Dooku's elbows are locked and Anakin is obviously leaning back slightly; they are locked.

I have to agree, it's not that clear they're locked. Anakin could just as easily be leaning back because he's executing some other maneuver, such as a dodge.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

The pic is convincing to me. The set of Anakin's arms gives me the impression of pushing, and Dooku's saber being so close to his body and the set of his arms looks like he's having the saber pushed toward his body.

[up][up] Perhaps Anakin was attempting to parry with his face, but accidentally got his lightsaber in the way. ;)

The Twilight Princess one definitely wins in the visual quality/detail element though.

Does Gannon normally have blue light shooting out of his nostril? I suspect it's a thingie, but I don't really know. I haven't fought him since he was more than 8-bit.

I'm not super happy with the overall qualify of the Star Wars pic, but it does have light and contrast in just the right places, it isn't blurry, and I simply couldn't find a better still of a Star Wars blade lock.

[up] Yeah, it's a spark particle coming from the two swords clashing. He doesn't normally have something blue hanging from his nose.

The Link/Ganon one definitely illustrates this trope. However, I don't think it looks very dynamic, and now that I've noticed the blue flame nostril, I can't un-notice it. Is there perhaps a similar image that doesn't have that blemish?

I found a similar image that doesn't have that blemish.

[up] The pose is better, too. I'll upvote that.

That's the same image with the spark painted out.

Is it? It looks a lot better that way. Something about it made it look more videogame pose-y to me, must be a trick of perception.

Alright, this one's ready to call. The new pic is up, potholed, and tagged, and the rest are on the Image Links page. Caption or no? I'm fine without.

Doesn't really need a caption, but having one shouldn't hurt.

Let's just leave it as is; it works without a caption. Locking up.
