Description
It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Dorath grey and bowed as with many years of woe, so great had been the torment of the road. But wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth he came upon Luthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell in to an enchantment; for Luthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Iluvatar....There came a time near dawn on the eve of spring, and Luthien danced upon a green hill; and suddenly she began to sing...and the song of Luthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke,a nd flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had pass. Then the spell of silence fell from Beren, and he called to her, crying Tinuviel; and the woods echoed the name. Then she halted in wonder, and fled no more, and Beren came to her. But as she looked on him doom fell upon her, and she loved him... - 'Of Beren and Luthien', The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien

Wow gorgeous 'borders' around this with the trees.. Really nice, and the motion in Lúthien's posture is great! 
But maybe the colour scheme is too bland.. It's spring, after all.
