I’m not wearing a costume at all! I was borrowing Sunir’s props!

Anyway, my vote is for Daniel (Leslie Chow) though Mario, what with the action shot, coes in a close second.

All awesome, but have to give it to Da….I mean…Leslie Chow (!)

Bonus points to the “Civilian” for her facial expression and Mario for ‘his’ vertical

Even though we want to vote for the zombie cowboy, we think that the best one is Paul Stanely from KISS and no doubt the best image is Mario captured in mid-air

Andy says:

Mario wins it for me – good costumer but the pose and smile just takes it to the next league.

The shark is dead by the way – you’ve put your right arm through it’s head – you can escape if you really want to – great effort though – that must have taken a while to make so that comes a close second for me.
