Do you ever picture something in your head that you think will look epic, then it turns out to be awful when you actually draw it out? Yeah, this is one of those.

It's meant to be princess Celestia falling from the sky. I don't know, but I was inspired by the song "Icarus" by Bastille and the legend of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and burnt his wings. That's not really what's happening here, but the colours that are flowing from her could be smoke from her burning wings? (the words aren't a line from the song by the way, I just thought they would look cool and fill the gap a bit)
What I imagine is that when an Alicorn decides they have had enough and want to pass on their leadership to somepony else, they can't just give it over. Tradition dictates that a ruler must die before the monarch can change. It becomes a huge spectacle, usually around every 5000 years or so. The reign of Celestia is over, and the power will pass on to somepony else.
(anyway, sorry if that story's too dark for MLP, that's just how my brain thinks )

I'd ask for critiques but I realise what's bad about it already, I just don't know how to fix it, oops!
I'm still posting it anyway because I spent a while on it, you know?
okay scrap that, I do really need critiques at this point! Someone tell me what's wrong with it maybe?

I hate it when you imagine something in your head, but then you don't get it quite right :c
I'm not good at critique, but something that made it hard for me to distinguish it as Celestia is the hair; in the show it's flowing like water, but in your piece it appears as actual strands of hair. Another thing that made it hard for me to understand it at the start was that Celestia's body color is close to that of the clouds, making her slightly indistinguishable.

However, those are just minute details.This isn't awful, it's beautiful! <3

Oh, thank you so much for the critique! Yeah, the hair thing was on purpose, but it doesn't really look as good as I imagined it. I just get carried away with drawing wavy lines, hehe ^u^
I agree, the white body is quite similar you the background, thanks for pointing that out. I might make the background brighter, because I quite enjoy the gradient colours (gradients FTW!)
Oh stop! Thank you!! ^u^ You've made my day saying this And thanks loads for the critique, I'll take it into consideration next time!
