A strange feeling in our chests that seemingly came fluttering from the sky, a love song as pure as the white snow. This is the melody of our hearts as we race toward the future together!

The entry thread is closed now so I hope it's okay to talk about favorites!

I went through the entry thread multiple times and liked sooo many pictures and I just really wanted to talk about why they're great too.

Did an amazing job with colors! I'm not sure if they picked their outfit colors to match up with that part of the lavender beds. The coordination is very impressive and it really captures the theme.

Another fantastic use of color! I'm sucker for that kind of pastel look

I love this one because it made me realize how pretty the stars are out in that area. It's hard to get a good view of most of the towns in the game against the stars while having your player characters captured beautifully in the frame.

This one is neat because I'm pretty sure they created a set in their house for the picture. It has a real jpop video feel to it, the colors make me crave fruity ice cream!

Whomever did this one has a truly skilled eye for composition. I can tell they have a impressive grasp and talent for how a picture should look and they should be proud of that.

I'm impressed at the commitment in this idea and get up that close to Nael for this picture. I love how it manages to capture a shining feel while being a darker piece overall through its great use of contrast.

I can't imagine how long it took to coordinate everything for this. Just getting a full group to show up a certain time and place in this game is like herding cats but having them all in coordinated outfits and standing in prismatic order is (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧.

This is such a marvelous use of the background. I love that area of the game so much I could look at it all day. This is another picture that really has a "shining" feel to it.

Your character is so lovely and your picture makes excellent use of contrast! The greens and blues of the background help to highlight the purple of your character and I want to reaffirm that she is truly dazzling!

Ahaha so much multi post orz. I had so many picture bookmarked that I really wanted to yell about and I had a whole big long post typed out. There were a ton of other great pictures in this contest too, I just really wanted to say in my own words why these entries stood out to me. I'm rooting for everyone who entered and I'm really happy SE gave us such a great theme to work with. Thank you all so much for sharing your lovely pictures on the forums!
