Catwoman

Vision:
As a big fan of the Batman Franchise I am a bit preoccupied but I still think that the high quality cosplay photographys of reenvisioned popculture icons have their own artistc value.
In this case the photograph tells a storry of a not so tough Catwoman. This alone is a big thing to envision, because the Character is usaly depicted tough. Also Cosplayers a most often creative and vulnerable people and both aspects are combined in this picture.

Originality:
In it self not groundbreaking - the Photographer uses mostly techniques common for portrait and fetish photography to transport a deeper message that only reveals itself upon closer examination.

Technique:
The Minor complaint is that I think the position of the light shining from the back is a bit off - neiter it is central enough to clearly look "in place" nor concealed enough to be hidden.

Impact:

In short: It realy asked for an in depth look at it.
This picture wants to be looked at in depth because it is more than a shiny high gloss picture of an awesome Batman Returns Catwoman costume. It is more than just a fetish costume photograph, and it does not show so much Catwoman as it shows a girl in a Catwoman suit.

And eaven though I think that the positioning of the Light realy distracts from the overall immage - it gained at least 4 stars spread over the four categorys while I was looking at it.
this picture is shurely one of the best Cosplay Fotos seen to date, just because it does not reimmagine a charcter - it is the Portrait of the Cosplayer and manages to show of the great costume.
