Very nice. The colorful clothes are excetional and it is nice to see folks with a big smile on their faces. I'm not sure what the Comicon is but it sure looks like folks are enjoying themselves.

Comicon = Comic+Convention
Comics fans that gather with Artists, Producers, Vendors, and fellow fans to share their favorite comics, plus movies, through many types of interchange. Dressing up as their favorites being a segment.

Thanks for cluing me in Stephan G. I am 77 so probably not up on things as well as I might be.

Enjoyed the pictures, looked like they were having fun. Age must be showing as I didn’t recognize any of the characters. Then again I haven’t read a comic book in a long time.😁

I am a Dr. Who and Star Trek Original Series, also Mighty Mouse operettas era, fan from old (subjective time). However at these conventions, a lot of the characters are from the last ten years and Japanese Anime (I'm also Captain Harlock fan).
BTB, I'm just a young 69.
You might want to google the -cons. You will be amazed at the degree of costuming involved.

Thanks dragonfist and EdR for the comments, and to Stephan G for answering dragonfist's question regarding what is a Comicon. Sounds like we're all about the same vintage. Last year I accompanied my grandson to our first Comicon. I thought it would be a good place to shoot, and I wasn't disappointed. The cosplayers (costume players) love to pose for pictures. It might be called a "target-rich environment" for photographers. A smile and a pleasant approach to the person is usually all you need.

Fun shots. I think the backgrounds add little or even distract. Cropping would make the subjects more prominent, as they should be.
