I know I'm probably reading way farther into this than you thought anyone would, but it's what I see so I though I'd share. I don't know if it will help you to improve or not, but here it is, regardless, haha. (:
I really like this photo for a couple reasons. First off, the cosplay is spot on, as is the portrayal of the character, especially the smirk. I can totally see Izaya shocking people by showing up above them on the jungle gym unexpectedly. Also, it is very in character to have him in a higher position than anyone else so he can look down at them. Second is the contrast in colour, the brown and neutrals of the coat play well off the blue of the equipment and sky. And even though there is so much negative space it's all connected by the strong angular lines of the dome, which also evoke a sense of recognition for the caution tape that is repeatedly used throughout the anime opening. Also, I like how the sky isn't completely blue or full of fluffy clouds, but it has enough subtle texture to not be bland. You captured this photo at an oportune time, in my opinion.
So over all, I love it. I'm just left wondering how it would look if the reaching hand were in focus, but that's really not an issue at all, I'm just curious. xD

This commment is wonderful! Thank you so much for alllll of your kind words! It has literally made our day!
We always ask for constructive commments, or at least specific ones. By ask, we may mean "dream of" more, but this is definitely a very, very constructive and useful comment. The fact that you not only analyzed our cosplayer but also the photograph as a whole, and as an art piece is incredibly generous of you.
Seeing someone recognize the thought and planning we put into photos like this one-- its really so beautiful and gratifying. I just can't thank you enough. You have an incredible artistic and analytical eye, and your words and ideas are so well thought out and how you related something as abstract as the bars being a nod to the caution tape--its just..;u; you're wonderful. We can't find better words. We can't wait to share your words with the rest of the group!โฅ
