long hair Alice and Miko-Suika? That by default makes this pic great.

the SDM ladies look lovely

Anyone wanna guess what Alice and Marisa is praying for?

And Sakuya looks like an Inuit from the waist up. Not saying it's bad.

Anyone wanna guess who Alice and Marisa are praying to?! Because last time I checked, Mima was the closest thing that place had to an actual deity.

That's rude! Hakurei shrine has a deity, you know! Even if miko sometimes forgets about it.

But certainly the shrine visit at Hakurei shrine looks unrealistic.

That miko might very well be the forgotten deity. Lots of subtle implictions point that way in her scenario in MoF.

At first I thought Reimu was shaking a fist at the visitors... until I noticed her broomstick handle... I liked the first scenario better, "No donations? Get off my lawn!"

Really late, but you're wrong.

The deity that originally inhabited the shrine left due to Reimu being such a lazy slacker she never preformed all her proper Miko duties. Added on top of that she's actually more a thiest then a devout shinto follower, the power of her shrine has waned to the point that vampires, being repulsed by faith and holy power, can come and go from the premises as they please.

Given the other major theory aside from Mima is that Hakurei Shrine belongs to the Dragon God Ryuujin, and his whole "if I show up for more than five seconds the weather goes straight to hell" issue... yeah, I can see how the place has lost nearly all its mojo. Why bother even sending a tiny little avatar shard if your priest is a lazy bum who doesn't even know your name, despite, you know, you being one of the creators of this whole place she's living in, and one of only a handful of beings that intimidates Yukari.
