^I feel like it's better to see the edges of the crystal rather than just the front and back.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyI prefer the Zelda image; there's more contrast between the crystal and the background.
Reaction Image RepositoryThe bigger Krystal pic is pretty good, but it's so dark that she's almost too obscured. On the other hand, I wish that Zelda was a little more obscured in that pic. Either would be fine with me. As far as the source, I just GIS'd "Zelda Ocarina of Time" and went with the pic that looked best...I think it was from a Zelda wikia page.
EDIT: Here's a slightly different take on neoYT's pic...puts in a little more of what's around the crystal and makes the sides a bit more distinct. (view image for wiki size)

Though the zelda pic (#3) is good in a lot of ways, the color of zelda herself doesn't seem affected by being filtered through the crystal. It sort of looks like she is in front of the crystal instead of inside it. For that reason, i think the one three posts up is better.
This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.I still like the Zelda one best. The Krystal one is really busy.

Which is why I recommended using a frame of it that makes clearer that she's in the crystal.
Lenneth has about double the ratio of the Zelda one, but fewer votes, so the crowner shows it as a tie. Does that mean Lenneth's winning?

I found a larger version of the original Krystal image
◊ via Google Search *, although the lighting isn't quite as good.
I personally think the Zelda one is clearer. Although you do get some pun value out of Krystal.
