Not bad.

Doesn't really show the Fisher King part. Only that the land looked different at two points in time, but not that its linked to the rulers.

Ooh! Insert a smaller portrait shot of Mufasa and then Scar over the rock. Maybe caption it: "The new Fisher King lacks a strong pro-green policy."

I agree. It would be good if it showed the rulers with each land.

I like that.

The second picture is a different shot on the bottom, showing more death in the foreground. I could also place the lions on the right if anyone prefers that, but I decided to show the fisher kings before their kingdom.

BTW, how do I properly format a caption on the forum?
Got it! Thanks, everyone!

I like the second one better, even at a farther distance the carcass in the foreground helps sell it.

I would have zoomed the other way, so the landmark is the same size/position in both frames. Like: [1]◊

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

Perfect.

Both versions are good but I like the skeleton in the first take.

[[caption-width:350px:This is a caption]]

Also, when using them, just put the raw image URL in. The wiki will automatically render the image here, without that weird box thing you've got goin' there.

Both images were raw screenshots. I thought about the dissimilarity, but didn't think to zoom in. I like that idea, although the skeleton has something going for it as well. I'd put it up between those two, but I don't have a preference.

Other than the image quality issues of #8, it works.

(Except caption, for reasons stated .)

I remade #8 using the original 1080p screenshot I took. This one is less fuzzy.

Not a huge fan of the caption (it took me a bit to realize you meant conservation and not he's backlit in green).

That idea was suggested before I added the pictures of Mufasa and Scar, so the green background wasn't there.

Not feeling the most creative right now, but I have an idea. How about:
"See that shadowy place? That's Pride Rock after Scar took over."

That's not bad. It does help a lot, if it wasn't clear enough without it.

I suppose it does feel like Departmentof Redundancy Department, since the image explains the trope really well without a caption. Maybe we don't need one. If we do, it should be humorous and not explanatory. I think mentioning "that shadowy place" somehow would be clever and fitting.

I would also consider a horizontal white line between the two rows, to separate them slightly, but that is not crucial.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

"As within, so without. Light begets plenty, darkness begets famine."

If there's one thing I've learned about Image Pickin', it's that what's obvious isn't.

That fits well. Pretty much the same, but poetic.

Wow, did you just make that up? That's pretty damn impressive. I don't see why not to got with that. I have one tiny nitpick with the grammar. The second sentence is two clauses separated by a comma, with no conjunction such as "as". But I don't want to mess around with it, so I'll leave it as is for now.
As per suggestion, I've added a separator:

And now I just learned something new.

^ The first part is a Hermetic principal. There's quite a few variations. "As above, so below", "As within, so without", "As in heaven, so on earth", "As the universe, so the soul".

The second part is her poetry, I believe. I like the caption, I like the image.

Yup...every now and then the muse wakes up.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
