Hello;
This is quite an interesting photo, normally I'm not drawn to cosplay and such but I love David Bowie and this is an awesome representation.
I think it's quite cool how you had a girl (at least what I gathered from the profile you linked?) she looks great in it but it still keeps the feel of Jareth.
Some things I did notice was the leg in front seems kind of like a distraction as you don't really see the beginning or the end, it just looks like something in the foreground and takes away from the photo. Perhaps if you had either added more of it into the photo or avoided it all together?
Also in cutting it off was the hair at the top and the right side of the arm/body. Which can be fine, but perhaps if you had selected only one area to cut rather than so many it would be nicer?
I overall like the lighting quite a bit, the way it lights up the ball and the crystals on the jacket as well as hits her hair is quite nice. Though perhaps her face could be just a little lighter.
The makeup and hair look great, as does the costume, it is amazing and I love it.
The pose is good as well, it doesn't look unnatural and fits the theme extremely well.
You did wonderful at putting Jareth together, one of the betters that I have seen, which is awesome. I loved this movie growing up (I still love it!) so it's quite nice to see it captured well.
Though I think there is room for some improvement it is a very awesome and lovely photo.

Thank you for the critique. This was kind of a spur of the moment photo actually while we were sitting in the hallway.

What a fantastic shot! The lighting is amazingly used and the composition makes it look like it's meant to be a movie poster!

We are both a HUGE fan of the movie, So getting the shots
we wanted was easy. Not to mention my experiences in
photography. That definitely did not hurt either xD

This is really cool. Kinda looks like Yngwie Malmsteen cosplaying as David Bowie pretending to be Sephiroth.

OMG, I love this. The Labyrinth is something I grew up watching, so good! I love the light reflection not only through the ball, but I love how it glows through his hair as well. Quite nice.

Thank you very much, I tried to capture the essence of Jareth in
my shots due to the fact that I am a HUGE fan of the movie.
I am glad to hear there are fans out there that love it as much
as I do. ~♥

!!!!! Thank you so much! We worked hard on trying to prefect it right before the performance. Do you live close to Calgary? Because I absolutely LOVED your Doll and would love to do a shoot with you sometime!
