Something every princess should do after a long day ^_^
Though she does look concerned, like there's something on her mind that's troubling her, that facial expression and unrelaxed posture tells me more than you could know...
And she looks so natural without all that armour and guilding draping off her and the ruffled mane, she's a pure white pony now and it suits her, even the little gestures like crossing the whooves over add to the troubled feel of this.
So yea, I love this artwork as I have never personally seen Celestia in this kind of scene, plus it has been drawn with such a great choice of colours, and the roughness of the lines on her mane add a certain charm to it that ties-in with the mood, they reflect her shakey thoughts (Good Way
I really like the pensiveness of this artwork, as expressed in the background as well as in Celestia's facial expression. Celestia's posing also adds interest to the piece through the contrast between her relaxed front legs and the tension in her straight neck and partially outstreched wing. Also, the fact that her mane is primarily in front of her head is a fascinating touch.
However, some other things bother me. Firstly, the colouring of her mane is rather choppy; I can see jagged lines throughout, which really distracts me from the nice flow of your line art on the mane. But, you probably realized that, as you did admit how difficult you found colouring Celestia. Also, it seems almost as if Celestia was photoshopped into the scene. I think this comes for a couple reasons: first, Celestia is the only part of this piece that has an outline, which makes her pop out of the scene. Second, her positioning in the piece is so close to the viewer. I think that this might have looked better had you placed her a little closer to the water and drawn her a bit smaller, perhaps enough to "fit" under the tree.
That being said, most of that was somewhat nitpicky. I really really enjoy this piece. The background is incredibly well done, and the shading throughout is excellent. I think that you presented a wonderful artistic vision very well, and I want to thank you for sharing it with us.
