Which is the better photo? Lighting is odd in the convention hall. Steampunk Ariel is the name of this costume and I actually saw a few people wearing it so it seems to be a bit popular.
Taking pictures at a convention can be daunting and frustrating. Bad lighting, odd reflections, people in the background. But still a great costume. You be the judge.
So which picture looks better? I like the second because the carpet colors and the angle work better for the outfit but the background and lighting is a bit messy.
