A screenshot tells a thousand words

Nenunial of The Rambling Draenei Death Knight suggested we post our favorite screenshots, or screenshots that have some sort of meaning for us. I know I'm late to the game, but I thought I'd share one of my favorite screenshots with you now, since I have nothing else to post today.

The short description is that this shot was taken of my priest after he used an Elune Stone on himself and then casted Holy Nova. There's a story behind it, though. You see, when I first bought Holy Nova from a trainer, I hadn't heard very good things about it from the various priests I had talked with. From what I had heard, there were simply better spells than Holy Nova for any situation where it might be useful. However, I was curious about it, so I gave it a cast after I got it. Well, what those curmudgeonly players had neglected to mention was that the animation for this spell is just plain beautiful. I was blown away by the visuals, and I especially liked the way the little specs of holy light lingered after the spell was cast. When the Lunar Festival came around, I hit upon the idea to use an Elune Stone in conjunction with holy light to create the effect above. It looked so good to me that I took a screenshot of it and kept it around, which is why I can share it with you today.
