First of all this is a really in character pose, you're positioned well and have a nice intense look. You've taken a really individual style on the character, but still look like yourself at the same time which I find really important when I look at cosplay. The costume looks very good too, and the ribbon round the arm is a nice detail to add to Tifa as she doesn't have too many accessory's to chose from.
The technique is pretty good, The camera work is good, you're lit well and I can see your face, but I can also see a bit too obvious photoshop work, I looked through your gallery and they all seem to have a Gaussian Blur or similar over them. It distracts from the image, because it either makes too many harsh lines or flattens the image and can sometimes look like you're trying to cover up either poor camera quality or blemishes, which I don't think you are! I also think that with your skin complexion the solid white back ground drains your skin a bit, but I can see the look you went for and why you chose a white background. It worked better in your gamer series of photos because the props helped break the image up. It's perhaps something that full body make up can fix for photo shoots or perhaps coloured or natural lighting or some fixing in photoshop when shooting on white scenery. Images you really want to use photoshop effects on, try to make them look as natural as possible, I chose this image to critique because I thought the filter on this was better than some of the other images.
Over all I really like the images you've produced, and I think this is the best one, you really have caught the character in this shot. I see real potential in your cosplaying, and I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you so much for the critique! It's actually my first I have gotten so it also means alot to me.
Thank you for your compliments on the costume itself, especially as it was thrown together very quickly!
Yes, this series along with the gamer one have (among other edits/layers) have a surface blur. This was because they are also being used for a project where they are meant to look like cartoon images/quite plastic or 'flat' looking. However without knowing this, I can see that it would deffinitly look like a very bad airbrush to hide something. (I see that alot on very 'myspace/self taken photos) So i think that is very fair to say.
Good idea on the background! Being so pale I do tend to fade in slightly to white backgrounds. These photos were actually taken in my spare room I recently bought a screen and some ameture lighting for, not a studio, which might explain some of it as well.
Thank you so much for your critique, it is very fair, and I appreciate the time you took to write it.

I'm doing a series of 'ghost portrait' pieces, and this would work well for the next one I'm thinking of doing. Do you think I could use this photo for the new piece?
