I like the symmetry of the “Nostrils of Justice”, for me there’s so much more going on in this one than the others.
I picked Nostrils because in it both her arms are balanced, one is not looking higher than the other. Granted, in the other images, you can see more of her body though. They’re all luffly 🙂
I like the colours better
I can tweak the colours 😀
I like the Blue Skies and Plinth. The Halfway’s look too dark and stern for me – Justice is not a bad thing. As for Nostrils, it feels a bit too far away, unconnected to the world of us little people.
Justice does have a certain remoteness to the little people, though and you can’t deny that it is dispensed from “on high” 🙂
IRL, yes, but in tarot it’s also about us, about how we are fair or not, how we weigh up what has happened and then choose our next course of action. This isn’t just blind, distant justice, but us being just, even if we’d rather be arbitrary and look out for ourselves… My opinion, anyway 🙂
Of course, you are right in terms of the card meaning. There is an inherent remoteness to the statue itself though – it’s truly up on high. I think that the appeal of Nostrils is more to do with the symmetry than the remoteness and personally, although I like Nostrils as an image, I prefer the others as a symbol of Justice, which, as you say, should be accessible to the little people, (though you may have noticed that I have a fondness for dramatic skies :D).
Halfway and higher because the background is more uniform and not distracting. I find the blue in the blue skys to be a visual cutoff. The coloring over all is nicer. You can see justice better over all. Nostrils does not show the statue as well.
