This photo has been flagging my attention ever since I added you on Facebook the other day and is unquestionably my favourite from the set of your verdant ventures in steampunk garb. I think what distinguishes this one from the others is the concealment of your full attire focuses one's attention on you personally rather than on the detail of the clothing. I like the way the margin of red velvet and your black hair frame and contrast the alabastrine hue of your skin, which in itself further evinces the stately appearance and decorum of the Victorian era the look is derived from. I've never really looked into steampunk myself, being more of a cyberpunk fan, but I can certainly appreciate it on an aesthetic level in lieu of a superbly made costume such as yours. I think I'm going to favourite this actually (this is a rare instance for me, lol).
