When I envisioned this contest, I was looking for something unique that told me a story not just a person or people in costumes.

Your photo is an interesting mix of costume, location, props and facial expressions all rolled up into one fantastic shot.

I had moved this into my top 10 right away. Going back through my options and rankings I saw a few other photos I was also intrigued by and to be quite honest, my wife chose this as her favorite. I was undecided until late Sunday night but couldn't give other photos a higher rating than yours.

This may not appeal to the crowd as much as it did me. Nevertheless, it came down to who told me the story best and used their costumes to their advantage.

Congratulations on 1st place with a truly remarkable photo in my eyes. I will be interested in knowing who submitted this photo so I can view their other photos. Best regards - Rob

A really fantastic capture. You have all the things I was hoping for in the contest.

A great costume, realistic story, and stunning facial expression.

I am interested in what this photo was telling you when you took it.

Congratulations on 2nd place in my contest. I am interested in who you are because I want to see some of your other work.

Best regards - Rob

Rounding out my top 10. Thanks for entering my contest.

I love the details of this costume along with a beautiful capture. Her facial expressions and hand gesture tell a story that makes me want to sit and listen.

Well deserving of a high finish. Regards - Rob

A black and white photo with great details and facial expression. When I first saw it I knew I would rate this pretty high but only after going back through my top selections and zooming in on the details, I decided it was top caliber.

Congratulations on your high finish. Thanks for entering this shot in my contest. Regards - Rob

I found this to be interesting because to me it is a cross between street punk and body painting due to the make up.

Clever mix for a really great costume.

Thanks for entering it in my contest and congratulations for your 7th place finish. Regards - Rob

This photo stood out to me right away. The brilliance of the costume with all the mirrors was amazing. I imagine it took several hours to place all these.

What were you thinking when you first saw him and decided to shoot this?

Great lighting and angle. Congratulations on top 6 finish. Thanks for entering my contest. Regards - Rob

Beautiful costume. Regards - Rob

Fantastic capture. I really love the intricacies of this photo. Zooming in on the photo you see very small details that make it great.

I'm not a big fan on jewelry or piercings but seeing where these were and seeing that even the wolf had his nose pierced, added value to the costume.

Great capture and entry into my contest. Congratulations on top 3. Regards - Rob
