Most Beautiful Screenshot from the Series?

[SolyWack 482]

Since I am a huge animation nerd, junkie, hobbyist, whatever you call it, the point is I like Animation. So I always take screenshots just to see how it was set up, and some I even come to admire from their pure beauty. But you don't need to be into animation to appreciate pretty/awesome/dank screenshots.

 

So post which screenshot you think is the absolute best.

 

I took this one from a fairly recent episode. Questionable quality png, but still really nice. I'm not convinced they did it all in flash.

This scene is the most beautiful to me

This was the most beautiful moment in the whole series for me personally

The colors, gradients, and the scene. Simply wonderful.

I only took half of these screenshots, but they're all contenders for "most beautiful."

 

"Same flowing mane."

 

Still one of my absolute favorites, right here.

 

Getcher armor.

 

Pretty sure I've made similar faces while looking at Rainbow.

 

Took this one myself; always loved this frame but could never find it online.

 

Dem eyes.

 

Dat...  Cloud.

This one is definitely one of my favourites:

The lighting that was done when Twilight woke up in the middle of the night throughout the entirety of the kitchen scene from Rainbow Rocks, really impressed me the first time that I saw it.

(So any screenshot from there would work pretty well.)

I love the shadow scenes as well. Those are the only things I haven't been able to faithfully recreate on my own. I wonder how they do them. Possibly some After Effects magic?

From the earlier days of the show, but still one of my favs

Oh god, I have so many. I tend to really appreciate certain frames of an episode, so much that I completely stop watching just to take a screenshot.

 

A beautiful looking long shot of a sunset with Big Mac and Apple Bloom after the events of the Sisterhooves Social. I never realized how good the show is at sunsets.

 

The lighting is soooo nice in this. I feel like season 4 was when the show started getting better at lighting.

 

Have I ever said that Equestria looks awesome at night? Winsome Falls is a nice looking place overall, but dang this scene looks beautiful. The sky looks amazing, all the colors look so good and not to mention it's my favorite scene in the whole show.

 

And basically any scene from Rarity Investigates. ;p

There's already too much Rainbow Dash in this thread but I find this picture pretty funny because of the expressions on all their faces.

I always thought this image was lovely. Luna finally forgave herself and earned a peaceful night's sleep.
