Jeez, there is *someone* out there running around and voting low on everyone's piece. As for the piece, I like the warm lighting, but this one looks a little grainy, especially compared to your others.

Really good job with the costume! ^^ Remarkable what you've done with the hair. From the thumbnail I thought it was a CG!

It does look grainy, but I won't pick it apart- it's a good shot and I reward content over image quality. The model is sexy. I don't know if it's a guy or a girl, but those pose rocks. I use a program in conjunction to PS called Digital Makeover, if you asked maybe I'd put some make-up on the model, and correct the lighting effects...

People. I'm the photographer. I'm not a cosplayer. I take photos of cosplayers. That's what I do. So this is not me.

(1) That's exactly why I posted this photo, because I felt that the composition of this photo was more important than the slight graininess.

(2) Yes. The cosplayer is very sexy. He is not a model. Why do you people keep thinking these are models? They are not. They are folks like you and me. They are anime fans.

(3) He is a guy. But he does look a lot like Nicole.

(4) I specifically wanted the lighting effect to be this way. A golden glow.

(5) And lastly, how could you have a GFXartist screen name like that?
What is wrong with DeviantArt?

ooh. Bish.

Wonderful composition on this one, and an extreme improvement on background from your other photographs. You certainly chose a good facial expression, and it seems to match his character.
I do wish that the clarity were a bit better, but that has been discussed already.
The small purple part of his costume and behind him are slightly distracting, however. A minor imperfection.
Composition=good. Minor problems=...problematic. Overall, a great improvement.

Thank you so much for the comment. Now I know how to improve myself.

that's such a beautiful photo. It's like a realistic anime.
