General
In general the piece is really appealing at first sight and it gives this emotional feel of complete gorgeousness. It's tender, it's cute, it's simple, it's subtly with that little warm touch that melts your heart. Again it's a really amazing piece but a complete critique isn't complete if you don't point out some other stuff too, otherwise is worshiping the artist (implying i don't do it already) but i'll get to it later.

Vision
The vision is flawless, i can tell the point of the drawing and the thing Zodiac wanted it to be and i can bet that so as you, why you ask?, easy, simple-ness..sess...
The plane is not so complicated it eases you, the viewer, it doesn't pulls the 3d asymmetrical plane trying to make you imagine or figure out what position is that, you see and you get it easily and fast making you feel comfortable and appealing to the eye and perception.
That again the simple visualization of the whole space loses it's focus the more you look at it, the first glance is amazing yes, but the more you analyze it you realize it get's a little out of place in some parts, it tries to be in the middle of the nowhere like a non-environment full-body piece, in other words, no defined background just a beautiful placed visual in the back playing the illusion of no defined place, but then you get the small i believe grass in the bottom of it breaking that illusion it's flawlessly created by the lightning and background, it's there for some reason, the mushrooms, like: "I'm in the field eating mushrooms, look at the little cute grass there", but having them transparent line-art only kinda says, i got a little lazy or didn't had time to end up with an actual background so i pulled/tried this if i get the same reaction as a colored full version of it, again, it's a beautiful visual, yes, but in vision it loses it's common sense just by a little bit.

Originality
There's no much to say about the originality, it's cute, it's simply Fluttershy, nature plays itself, the expression says everything, the pose, the look, the lightning, Zodiac really thought where to begin with and where to end it, just a little fact that Fluttershy being cute is a concept we've all seen more than 5 years into the fandom doesn't creates the same d'awww we all used to get. That's the reason why it didn't got a perfect five.

Technique
Stepping in dangerous fields i really didn't knew if i would give my FULL thought and opinion with it because everyone has it's unique style and way to draw and criticizing something like that doesn't feels right, even tho when you look at this you see it's made with full energy and complete talent; the lines are so clean, the colors so beautifully applied, the lightning is heavy and emotional. It's gorgeous to look at and incredibly well phased, the shadows doesn't fit at times being small in some places where the next part's shadow is huge almost covering all of the body part, and i'm not talking about, hoof 's next opposite twin i'm talking about, the shadow in the other side of the line-art, the feathers for example, the shadows grow exponentially the deeper you get in the drawing, but there are some that start really deep and then the next one pops out lightened up, another fact is that both wings have the exact same shading even tho one is deeper in the shadows than the other one, removing the position of the source of lightning the rest of the body created making you feel something it's out of place. Another thing that bothered me is the fact that the mushrooms, 3 of them, where copy-pasted, the exact same mushroom 3 times, the dots, forms and line-art, the only thing that was improved in each one was the stem and it was because of the base/grass it was placed in, having the same figure repeatedly even in sizes and just one inverted makes it look incomplete at some point.
Otherwise, line-art, the mane, gorgeously crafted. The body, so natural and totally unforced. Expression, colors, shading, everything else is perfect, there's no much to say about it, it' just perfect.

Impact
The most impressive and strong element of this piece, the impact it creates the first time you look at it. i actually went dumbfound when i first glanced this in my inbox, it's perfection was too much for me to handle with, the colors, the plane, the.... why saying all that again. Pure perfection at it's finest, the first glance it's all you need to say: "Nope, i can't handle it, nah i refuse, it's beautiful, FAVORITE!". That's why it gets a full 5/5, Perfect!
