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.
