8.5 from me, I think the dark photo let it go down a bit. The painting itself isnt bad, maybe some more highlights on the cloak or on his head and his nose. Ye but as I said the rest looks very good :P
Once again, I have seen and held the real thing. All the Staff at the local GW (one of whom actually wins awards for his painting at GTs) are amazed by it. Easily an 8.5
