 A fluffy UFO attempts to camouflage itself as a cloud over the top of Mt Fuji.

Oh yeah, Tarot cards.

The unification bit, I suppose :D

This entire image is completely devoid of depth. Except for the cloud. The modesty and humility of this image moved me.

Oh, and as for the tilted comment - yes, I find the image to be significantly off. It seems like it might be flat relative to the horizon which makes the mountain look not only "off", but difficult to focus on. The cloud is even worse. The composition, on the other hand, which is what the eye of any true photographer will see, is perfect.

Perhaps the other voters didn't notice, but I think this is too subtle to ribbon. Take a deep breath before you look at it - it's perfect.

"Temperance is almost invariably depicted as a person pouring liquid from one receptacle into another" - so we can read this peaceful image this way! 8

This is an awesome photo. I'm not getting Temperance from it, though.

I've never actually seen a lenticular cloud, just pictures of them. Great shot.

Nice, very dramatic. A little tilted to the left :)
