I always thought Dumbledore played the drums.... Nice catch - the brighter lighting on him and the softer purple background. Can't tell if his eyes are closed or squinting at you. I'm guessing he was playing "Santa Claus is coming to Town"?

@John: Thanks John. He had his eyes shut, obiously absorbed in the music. Perhaps I should have titled it Santana Claus :)

Crackin' portrait in what must have been very challenging lighting. Very clean for ISO1600.

Good evening Mike,
It looks as if the holy St. Nicholas plays guitar. The man works with His long white beard like Santa Claus. A very nice shot. The colors I really liked it. Dear greetings Christel

Wow, Mike - I can hear this. A really fine study with the beard, light, and that magnificent concentration all coming together.
