First off, I'd like to say that this looks great! The contrast is flawless, the composition is amazing, and the expressions are perfect. I must have stared at this for 10 minutes before thinking of anything to write about it!

There were two main things that stand out to me that could be improved. Dumbledore's hair, the loose strands behind him, are too hard, in my opinion. A softer eraser could be used to make them look less like lines and more like light hitting them--it would have a fuzzier look and look more realistic and slightly mystical (which is appropriate here. <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> )

The other thing is the wrinkles around Dumbledore's eyes, they appear to me to be, once again, too hard. A little bit of added darkness VERY slightly emanating from them might help soften it. Same goes with the shadow inside his nostril.

But again, these are only very small. This piece is beautiful, and I applaud your talent! <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/c…" width="25" height="25" alt=":clap:" title="Clap" />
