Poor Image: Levitating Lotus Position

While an excellent example of the trope, the image quality isn't the greatest. GIS has several viable replacements, though a few might need resizing:

1. Jedi◊
2. Silhouette◊
3. Serene Lady◊
4. Blue-and-gold Stone Guy◊
5. Elephant Rider◊
6. Sky-high◊
7. Homer Simpson◊

Of these, my favorite is Serene Lady. As always, we could also simply leave the one that's there.

1 or 3 work for me.

Yeah, something with actual human anatomy would be best, so you can actually see how the legs fold.

I prefer the third one. The first one looks awkward to me, and kind of shopped.

There's also Dhalsim.

1◊...rather disappointed that more pics from SF 2 didn't show up in GIS.

That's why I didn't supply an example myself... And there's already one on the SFII character page.

I like the Jedi.

1 and 3 are the best. I prefer 1 as 3 looks more clear but less "real". Well, it doesn't really look fake but I can't describe it.

What's the next step, here? A crowner?

Well, that's three votes each for the Jedi pic and the floating lady...let's see how votes stack up in a few more posts to see if we need a crowner or not.

More Dhalsim◊. Wish I could find his floating sprite in the context of his victory pose (assuming I'm remembering correctly and he doesn't always do his goofy dance)...

I like the Dhalsim earlier in the thread. And yes, he does float as a victory pose, 50% of the time (and also in the Capcom Vs Whatever spinoffs).

Ninja'd.

I favour 3, as the composition of 1 is exceedingly awkward.

3 ought to be cropped a bit, but otherwise, it's good.

There's also Counterspell. And here's an animated .gif for Image Links◊.

I agree

I don't think the composition of #1◊ is awkward at all, let alone "exceedingly". And he is clearly levitating.

#3 is just some 'shopped photograph, which I think looks really lame.

I agree with either #1 (jedi) or #3(yoga chick). #1 looks cooler, but #3 has the advantage of the straight-on view. Shadow Hog's Dhalsim #2 is also pretty cool looking and clearly levitating.

Is it crowner time yet, or should we wait a bit for more potential suggestions? I can't see a consensus as it is.

Crowner's hooked. Go with whatever floats your vote.

Doesn't that "Stone guy" one on the crowner have a watermark on it?

It does.

Bump for votes.

This one's ready to call. Can someone put the winner up when they get a chance? Thanks in advance. Caption or no?

Done, with no caption at the moment. I don't think it needs one, but neither is it better without. Any ideas?
