Okay! So, I've had many a time where I poured my heart and soul into sincere compliments on someone's dragons. Subsequently, however, I get one sentence to the point that "your dragon really looks great!"
While I don't begrudge the person for that sort of comment, it really does hurt the soul to put time into making someone's day, and only receiving a throwaway comment afterwards.
So, this is basically like "Steal A Dragon Above You" except for one important rule:
[size=6]Your comments must be made with effort and appreciation put into them, with the goal of making the person above you smile.[/size]
[LIST]
[*]originally I said there was no length requirement, but
[*]There's now a [u]required length[/u] of [u][b][size=5]8-10ish COMPLETE sentences[/size][/b][/u]
[*][i]if you need to[/i], [u]please google "what is a complete sentence"[/u]
[*][i]this is not to say you can't use fragmented sentences[/i], go wild with punctuation and grammar
[*]but [u]try to go beyond the minimum requirement please[/u]
[*]Most important is [b]time [/b]and [b]effort[/b]
[*]So basically, [i]set a timer for ten minutes and go to town[/i]

I just love Eden's red and white color scheme! That accent looks great on him, and the Pristine Rose Thorn set is a perfect match as well! I really love how the rose accent interacts with the rose thorn apparel- for example, how the roses on the legpiece sit next to the roses on his leg!
I love the different sets of the Crimson and Gossamer Silks together, and the way his familiar matches him too! I love the art in his description, and I really like his lore. His lore fits his appearance and accent very well![/quote]
Rather than [i]meeting any sort of standard[/i], the goal is to [b]make comments that make the person happy[/b]. So, if you [i]don't feel up to it[/i], [u]no hard feelings at all[/u]!

First and foremost, you have so many lovely dragons with incredible accents, apparel, familiars, and even lore. It made picking just one hard for me.

This lovely lady not only makes crackle, an easy to hate gene, look absolutely incredible, she also exudes a air of peaceful beauty. Her lore is intriguing, and she looks like she would be an absolute angel. I know hands down my dragons Leverett and Ruelle would enjoy her company.

Whenever I see a dragon with a dove, I always imagine an aura of peace and innocence, but this dragon brings something new to the table. Elegance! Poppy's red colors perfectly match the glory of the flower and truly will bring a viewer joy to gaze upon her! I love the accent as well, it suits her perfectly! She seems like a kind soul that I would love to spend time with!
She's gorgeous! You should be proud!

(Thank you for getting this started! You really did make me smile... and I think I needed that today. ^^)
First of all, I [i]also[/i] have a dragon named [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=48297&tab=dragon&did=17009604]Xenon[/url] in my lair- I bet he'd get along with your Xenon very well! ^o^

Secondly, I just [i]love[/i] CrimeScene. Her combo of red/white/deep-red is both beautiful and imposing, especially with her apparel! The deep red-black of the Raven Sylvan looks so lovely against the crimson pie/paint. The sanguine roses look [i]so[/i] gorgeous curling from underneath the raven sylvan wings, and up and down her arms and legs as well! I love how the filigree leads into the rose from the crown... and she has matching eyes, and a perfectly matching familiar as well!
@Yates
(Thank you so much for helping this get started- your participation really means a lot!)
Honorable mention to Spirit, who's palette is just [i]gorgeous[/i]. I've never gotten the blue&yellow of lapis poitox to work, but she looks just fantastic in it![url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35965316]

Amethyst truly looks like her namesake! The violet/royal cryface creates these varying purple tones that fit under the fading purple of the starwood veil- like a gem, she has different shifting shades of purple! I love the sky gembond matching the blue reflections on the crystalline spikes of the starwood veil: And her familiar as well! The necklace is a subtle but nice touch, sitting on the scarf of the veil, and the mage's hat is a creative spin; she certainly looks very exasperated under that hat, and I'd bet her lore as to why would be very interesting! ^^
[size=5]Next person: skip me and do Yates, please! I'd love for other people to make other's days![/size] Though I couldn't resist responding to Yates' lovely comments, of course. ^^;

I love the way that the jester apparel almost seems like it belongs on him, not just because of his colors, but because of the tongue sticking out! I never noticed it before, but they simply seem made for the jester role with that cute little mocking tongue flicking out.
The colors, as well, are fantastic. The soft peach underbelly compliments the rosy tones of the tangerine, making a difficult color to work with very appealing. He's adorable!

Well, I may as well start this off properly: Your lair is so full of wonderful dragons that it's honestly difficult to narrow this down to just one to heap praise upon. You've managed to make me like tundras and pearlcatchers in abundance where that's usually a rare thing for me.

...Which is precisely why I'm going with Ophelia. I absolutely love how well she wears her crown and cape. I wish those both looked this good on more dragons. Her accent really pulls her whole look together, too, with how much it makes her mane and tufts pop the way it does and gives her pearl that magical look it does. Outside of appearance, I'm not sure why, but the bit about her and her mate, who is also amazing, managing real estate tickles me.

So full of ideas. So terrible at using them.
At least there's still capitalism.
@Temeraria
I have to start off by complementing your lair as a whole as I'm in awe of your page and a half of Mirrors. I've always found Mirrors to be one of the more difficult breeds to dress, but you've done such a fantastic job creating outfits for each of your dragons. I'm especially a fan of how you've dressed all of your azure-winged Mirrors on the first page as their underlying colors/genes are all very similar, but each of them still stands out on their own and seems to have their own distinct personality.
I'll admit that I was torn between discussing Lussatine, Tarkel, and Bijou because all three of them really caught my eye and have a beautiful combination of colors, genes, and apparel. Ultimately, however, I have to talk about Fulgeo. . .

I think what stands out most about him is that you've managed to combine so many different pieces of apparel that come together and complement Fulgeo's underlying colors/other apparel he's wearing beautifully. He has a really unique almost assassin look to him and I think he's one of the most creative and well done dragons I've seen in a while. I usually see flashy silks or full sets of apparel layered together with a few other things, but Fulgeo stands out without any of the overly expensive 'designer' apparel and it's all layered so beautifully. . . Please teach me your ways ; u;
On a side note, it was a pleasure getting the chance to browse your lair! You've inspired me to look into getting another Mirror at some point and to spend more time in the scrying workshop coming up with more creative outfit designs of my own.
