First of all, thank you on behalf of all Sprarity fans everywhere for the scene and subject. Besides fulfilling our dream of seeing these two together, well-executed art of them together (let along proposal moments) are frustratingly rare. The subtle heart shape of the gem is a nice touch and entirely appropriate to proposing to one's true love!What really detracts from this adorable scene is the utter lack of background. Shocked ponies witnessing the proposal, a peaceful woodland scene, the inside of a shop, anything would have been better. The net effect is somewhat like placing a bowl of fine china in the middle of an empty parking lot.That being said, I'm less worried about the gem's lack of 'shine' than the other critiquers because I feel they would distract from Rarity's beautiful face, complete with tears of joy welling up in her eyes. Mirrored/reflected expressions are darn HARD to get right and you did an amazing job.Bottom line: It's not perfect. But then again, neither is any person, or pony, or dragon. And speaking as someone recently engaged...you don't need perfection to know when to ask for that "yes".
