	Beautiful! I love how Voldemort is out of focus while everything about Severus is crystal clear. The way Harry is clutching at Severus' robes, clinging to to what he needs... sigh Very well done. (Reply to this)

	I agree with alisanne, the way you have focused this is fantastic. It really fits the prompt. (Reply to this)

	Wow, I am absolutely entranced by this artwork, especially Severus' expression. Not to mention the colour of his skin. And his nose! Perfect rendition! :D loves (Reply to this)

	OMG - alisanne said it perfectly! This is brilliant and I am sure rakina is going to love it! (Reply to this)

	Hey, this is really really cool! The out of focus Voldemort is awesome, and Snape's serious expression rocks. And also his hair. And I like it when Harry cries, soooo... heh. It's possible, though, that my favourite bit is Snape's hand on Harry's chin - lovely angle, that :). I think I might know who did this, too. I think. (Reply to this)

	OMG, that's beautiful! (Reply to this)

	I love the contrast of the blood and tears on Harry's face with the expression on Severus'; it's such a tender look and has me captivated. (Reply to this)

	Severus' facial expression in this just slays me! God. He looks protective and somehow indulgent, and supremely confident that nothing, but nothing, will get past him to harm Harry. Let alone Blurrymort. Wow! (Reply to this)

OMG! Whoever you are.. this is perfect. Thank you a thousand times!
Poor Harry, (amd I a total perv in loving his pink lips?), the blood tricking into his eyes, trickling with tears...

Snape's pale hand cupping his chin. Snape's hair and OMG his buttons! lots and lots of lovely, black buttons... *is sidetracked, attempts to regain focus* (ouch, I just punned the title, sorry, I've gone really random over this).

Voldemort is out of focus, out of their vicinity, and he's so enraged by Harry slipping from him, even as he's full of hate and wanting to hurt him.

So yeah, I guess I want to say I love it, but instead I've gone on a bit. And really, I'm not sure who you are at all. I have one idea, and it's probably not worth the effort of the brain cell that came up with it, so I'll wait as patiently as I can to find out.
Thank you again *squees*

	Harry looks like he's in such pain. D: Poor kid. Really like it. :] (Reply to this)

	Beautiful. And trust me rakina loves it, she's pimping it out. :D I think it's brilliant how the focus is on Snape and Harry, it's so crystal clear, yet Voldie is outside the focus as if he doesn't matter. Love it. (Reply to this)

	bridgetmkennitt 2007-11-16 02:24 am UTC (link)
	So lovely. I adore the fact that Severus is who Harry clings to and how that helps him block out Voldemort. And the buttons! The buttons are strangely mesmerizing. lol (Reply to this)

	Wow! That's really gorgeous! I love the idea behind it as well! (Reply to this)

	verdenia 2007-11-16 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Nice, the blurry Voldie is great, and Sev's face is excellent! (Reply to this)

	Gorgeous!! (Reply to this)

	Wonderful. I love Voldemort being out of focus but still such an important part of the piece. Severus is beautiful in his ugliness (does that even make sense?) and the blood and tears streaming down Harry's face just add to the piece. (Reply to this)

	This is great. If you have time, you might want to take a look at (Harry's?) right hand. Looks kinda weird from my viewing angle. Prompt is probably angst, isn't it? is too lazy to scroll (Reply to this)

	stellamoon 2007-11-16 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	Very interesting and dramatic. Scary, too! (Reply to this)

	sev1970 2007-11-16 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	I love the intensity in both sets of eyes. (Reply to this)

	torino10154 2007-11-17 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	Snape-his skin tone, face, buttons, everything is perfect. I love Harry clutching his robes and the tears on his face. And the effect you created with Voldemort is really good-out of focus but showing movement I think. (Reply to this)

	ziasudra 2007-11-18 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful! I love the out-of-focus Voldemort -- makes me want to think he's fading away and Harry will be alright in the end with Snape holding him. Snape is perfect here g (Reply to this)

	Interesting art style, like there are layers and layers to this. I think Snape is my favorite, the look in his eyes. Harry looks defeated, but Snape looks determined. (Reply to this)

Wow, this is awesome! I love the effect you've chosen for Voldemort, and the contrast to how you show Severus works beautifully. Also - the quality of Severus' hair! You can basically see the oil dripping from it, which may not be the most, y'know, erotic sight, but it is how he appears in canon, so. The angle of Severus' hand is also really, um, cool (god I wish I knew more about art so that I could make my comment sound more educated!), and I love how he tilts up Harry's chin. "Focus, Harry!" indeed.

Well done! :)
