I absolutely LOVE this picture!
This is definitely one of my top five favourite depicitions of Hermione. Even a girl like Hermione can have a carefree day and experience sheer joy in something, I think. It's nice to see her having fun!
My favourite thing about this picture, though, is the way the sun shines around her and glows through her hair.
is deeply envious of Ann for being able to produce this effect so well, because she can't do it herself
Can't say I'm fond of your rendering of Hermione (or even that expression -- it's a bit wicked/out-of-character, don't you think?).
But I must say, this pic reeks of great craftsmanship (especially in her cloak highlighting and coloring), and her pose and viewpoint are fantastic. Nice job on her hands, too!
