I-I don't know how I stumbled upon your LJ (I think I was trying to find the origin of this one very pretty icon), but I'd like to put in a vote for the original #1. I think the background is very beautiful the way it is, but I feel the shadows on Yuuko's robes were a little too light--it seems to fade into the background for me.

Would you mind very much if I add you to my f-list? You don't have to add me back; I just would like to be able to keep updated on your great works :D
