Caption: The Undeniable Connection of the Living
Regardless of the direction that we are heading, we can never neglect the fact that each one of us, humans or any well being, are connected unto one another. One decision of the other, micro significantly affects the others. You may loosen the connection but can never sever it.
Cordial Relation And Mutual Respect
One side of the image shows Hanuman carrying Lord Ram. Hanuman used to worship him and treat him as his master. He had dedicated his entire life to serving Lord Ram and his wife. But Ram never took advantage of it. He treated Hanuman like his younger brother and gave him all the love and respect. This shows a mutual respect and a happy relation between the two.
The second part of the image shows a man riding a horse. This depicts that a horse also treats his owner as his master and does so much for him. He always acts on his master's order. So, man should also act like Lord Ram and treat the horse with love and have appreciation for the horse. The horse here is only a symbol. It symbolizes anything or anyone who has always stood by him and helped him. A person should always be grateful and respectful towards his well-wishers. Only then will he be able to live happily and peacefully.
'Help Others To The Best Of Your Abilities'
The picture tells two stories. The first half is of Lord Hanuman. He was sent to get the herb Sanjeevani to help heel Laxman, the brother of Lord Ram. When he finally reached the hill, he couldn't identify which herb was Sanjeevani since there were so many small plants and herbs around. But he didn't give up. He was hell bent on saving Laxman so at the end he lifted the entire hill and brought it to Lord Ram! This brings out his helping nature and shows that he made the best use of his abilities to help other people.
The second half of the picture shows a man riding a horse. Now, in present days we don't possess the ability to fly or to lift an entire hill! But that shouldn't stop us from helping others out. We should use whatever sources and means that are available to us (a horse, in this case), to help everyone. We don't have the powers of Gods but we do have the capability to help each other and we should always thrive to do so.

Let your past experiences influence your future positively.
Our past experiences make us what we are today. Some things in the past are unavoidable and some of us made mistakes that we want to forget. The photo portrays that our past is interconnected with our future but notice that when we look at our past and our future, we are looking at two different directions. I think the image is telling us that learning from our past is a great thing to do so long as it can make our future better and that the lessons that we learned from our past became constructive inputs for our self-development. But, the moment our past experiences discourage us to grow positively as a person then it is time to let it go and leave it in the past.

'We are all one under God'
The idea of this being our notions of deities being analogous to ourselves, while both human ontological and corporeal concerns are drawn from the true source, 'God', ie nature and life around and beyond us.
Sometimes we believe that life leads us to today, to the place where we are mostly we tend to blame the fact of being in a bad situation or bad times, what we are not able to accept is that each person owns their future and each The person chooses their destiny, Good or Bad and it is always important to know that we can leave where we are and take a different course while we maintain the conviction of wanting to achieve it.
This is my entry to the #Contest
My caption of this picture: Emulating Theoi Khthonioi
_
Justification: Theoi Khthonioi is the name of the Gods of the Underworld (or Chthonian Gods by the Greeks). Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture, was known for traveling with Nymphs and carrying a torch. She is also the mother of Areion, an immortal horse that was fathered by Poseidon. It is said that man was made in the image of God. Maybe man was made in the image of the Gods and after time they also start emulating the Gods. So, in this picture, I see the idea of man riding horses coming forth from the Gods. Or you could also look at it as Demeter giving birth to Areion and man is already emulating.
Mismo cuerpo dos caminos, dos mundos, dos realidades.
Hi @sanmi, here's my entry, have resteemed and upvoted. Good Luck to all!
Caption: Faith and Humanity
Justification:
We human always on the move on our life journey, life goes on. We want to leap to our success, sky is the limit. We work hard and we pray to God. God always watching over us. We Strive, We Hope and We Pray that the Lord is always with us and blessing us. Keep Believing, Keep Striving, Keep Praying.

Culture don't matter, we're all under God.
This caption is based on the different looks of the either end of the picture but the fact that both of them are doing the exact same under a big rock
"The cloud above us all"
Two vastly different civilizations, each pursuing their own idolization, both failing to get further than the other one due to one human fault: greed.
Material values instead of spirituality, culture, religion or are they compatible?
In the picture we see two parts of one whole. On the left is the spiritual aspect of our world, it's culture, religion, faith, hope, love. The spirituality depicted in the form of the deity. Deity looks up and holds out his hand, because these things cannot be bought. We can only hope, beg, pray. Above the picture is a world that gives people what they ask for, in the form of energy. Therefore, the world and the deity of the same color. We draw energy from the world and give his in return. It's the circle.
Right - material values. Man on horseback looking down, because in order to achieve something, you need a lot of hard work. Money does not fall on us from the sky.
But two parts of the painting are bound together. This means that all should be harmony. People have to work but should not forget their own souls.
Eons away, yet intertwined by soul
Two souls are one, only distanced by time. And yet, they go their seperate ways in life. One decides to help nature and care for the Mother Earth, and the other enslaves her. And yet, there is no difference in their soul, only in how they were raised. This just shows the importance of good parenting and role models.
Caption: Intertwined: Together but Apart
Justification: The picture shows two distinctly different beings, connected to each. They're different, with diverse goals, but even if they wanted to be, they cannot be apart. Whether the picture is meant to exemplify the differences between cultures, or humanity and divinity, there's still an undeniable connection between both that does not separate them.
ABN's caption entry:
"We Are One: History is Destined to Repeats Itself"
Justification:
As each culture seems to race away from each other, attempting to learn from others "mistakes," attempting to not go in the same direction. The similarities are always there, just redefined for each time period, hence the subtle similarities. We, as a species and creation are all one, so in a sense, there is not much of an escape and we are bound just as the image is above. We are bound to repeat history as it continues to do. The same looming cloud(s) encompasses each time period and watches as it attempts to escape but is unable to.
"A man who cant do without the other"
Justification: It's like the rich and the poor. Poor people needs rich people for them to survive. Rich people needs poor people for them to be richer. And also, you will never know if someone is poor with out knowing someone that is rich. All in all, even we are rich or poor we are still connected and we cant do it just by ourselves.
Caption: A problem is solved when you ride and fight to face it.
In this picture, Lord Hanuman is helping Lord Rama to fight against evil and mountain over hear, is depicting a problem which is moving all along with you. In another picture, a man is riding the horse to run and win. So in conjunction it means if you really want to emerge as winner then you have to face the problem and solve it so it will not follow you back and you will be a clear winner.
The destiny is in our hands....
As in the epic Ramayana, Hanuman was a game changer, by bringing the entire Himalayas, so that sanjeevani could be found out, we all can be game changer of the human evolution. Survival of mankind depends on human actions, and the future will be decided based on how we all drive it.
https://steemit.com/caption/@sweetbbsr/the-destiny-is-in-our-hands
A lifetime that never ends, memoirs of a rain drop.
Justification: basically it looks like a stone cloud above, and to the left of the picture, the majority is stone. The hands are still flesh on the left and it's like the hand is extended to catch the rain drop. On the right is a flesh (non stone) horse/human, this is unusual to the rain drop, but is what is percieved when looking down from when the drop is in the cloud again, was just a glimpse/captured at a moment in time. There is plants growing from underneath the stone cloud, again an unusual glympse into the understanding of the rain drop, it knows it has a closeness to basic life growth. Stone lasts a long time representing the age long story of the rain drop hitting the ground and cycling back up to the cloud. The stone represents the past (over an age) and the flesh the present. The story is abstract of course.

Here is my entry to this contest:
My Caption for the Image is "Invinciblity, The Mind of the human god"
Justification
This image signifies a lot of attributes that I relate to the mind of a courageous man, or a god.
Firstly, the horse part of the creature signifies strength, speed and alertness. The mind has much strength and speed to respond to issues and show up when and where needed. The horse rider represents the ability of the mind to choose how to channel his abilities to optimum use.
Secondly, the human form of the creature represents care, intelligence and extraordinary (or supernatural) strength. The rod or wand is a supernatural tool signifying that the mind can do much more than it appears to be capable of. The wand is also an instrument of attack. It repels opposing forces. That same human form has on it's back, an offspring that it teaches to war.
Finally, The covering above, like a tortoise's shell represents a shield of defense and a place of refuge. It does not only signify defense but also attack; any attack against it's rough surface will damage the instrument of attack.
In summary, the human mind is invincible in that it possesses attributes that makes it victorious over every challenge that can come against it. These attributes include Strength, speed, dynamism, care, intelligence, attack, defense and lots more.
The human mind is a god; invincible in it's capabilities. Do not be a victim of circumstances, bring out the "god" in you!

Caption
The relevance of the ancient power to the contemporary world.
Justification
From the photo, it's seen that the one on the left happens to be an ancient being with a spiritual power, that he used to uplift the mountain, while the other on the right is a contemporary man, which similar represent the contemporary/present world. It's obvious that they are both joined together, that's to say they are connected in one way or the other.
In conclusion, I will say the ancient power is still very relevance in this contemporary time, because like the saying goes, the spiritual controls the physical.
Thanks, and God bless you.
An undispicable display of love
The picture depicts a supreme being having a very loyal servant doing his bidding and riding on him and a defiant servant moving in an opposite direction regardless of this there the supreme being still creates a strong bond between him and the disloyal servant and even provides shelter over his head
Caption : Human must know that they are Vested power of God
Justification : No one knows how the Human evolution started, however, we all believe in God in our form of religion. This art shows that, there is a cross section between Humanity and God, So God gave us the power to start and grow our evolution, and do the good things. However, over time, humanity has ceased to forget that, it seems, and in stead engaged in fighting between themselves. It will not be a surprise that, we will cease to exist, if we continue doing this. Because the vested power will be withdrawn.
