The formal ceremony where Maedhros hands over the High King status to Fingolfin. In the centre, Fingolfin kneels, and Maedhros stands ceding his right to the kingship. To the left is the rest of Feanor's sons alongside Tyelperinquar and Huan. To the right is Fingon who has his back turned to us.

I like your artwork.

It is very expressive how you have arranged the various parties: the heads of the people as witnesses from the back, Fingon a little apart,  Maedhros's brothers isolated to the side, with the contrast in attitude between the older brothers and the twins, and in the middle the crowning itself, with Maedhros looking very impressive here.
