I have like one word for you, "Yes."
Also, the shot is really great. I love how the focus is on Squalo, and not on both Squalo and Xanxus' head. And for what it's worth, that red in the background is really great. With the black suits and all. And it makes Squalo's hair stick out even more.
This really is a great shot.
If I had any gripe about it, it would be that the wig is very frizzy. And like...I know how long wigs are, so I can't really complain. You brush them so much until they're perfect...then you take two steps and the entire thing is screwed up. I hate it so much.
Oh, and for what it's worth, the sharpness in this picture particularly makes it that much better. So I certainly love the sharpness you've added.

Gosh, thanks so much for your insights! That makes me improve on my work; put a little more effort.... My friends--these cosplayers--act so natural, too, so it wasn't so difficult to find a perfect spot for this perspective.
(As for the wig, yeah, it's been a major problem for most cosplayers when these stuff are kept inside the box for a long time, squished, or smth like that. And without proper treatment, most often than not, they frizz. It becomes dismal! T^T)
Adding the sharpen filter has been, like, a ritual for me whenever I do minor post-processing of my photos. For me, it somehow adds to the vividness of the image and accentuates the minute details. I'm no pro when it comes to composition or anything of the kind... I suppose it's my way of expressing aesthetics, and man, am I so glad people respect it as it is! So, thank you!

You're quite welcome. I'm glad! You're talented as it is, so I look forward to seeing you progress!
You're friends...They're great cosplayers. I mean, I really mean that. Your Squalo really seems to have him down. And by the Xanxus' posture, I can bet She's/he's really great too.
(Oh man I'm so anal about my wigs. I have mostly short ones but my mukuro one is horrible. and it's just a pony tail. :I Not to mention my Luka wig, which is sooo terrible. They're hard to take care of. YOUR SQU SHOULD MAIL ME HER WIG. I love fixing wigs up. It's like...my thing. Styling them, cutting them... I love it alllll.
/shot)
I don't know what kind of camera you have, but I find unless it's a naturally sharp image, or it's got mostly dark colours, it's great to sharpen a little bit. You do a great job. I note you're careful to not sharpen the shot too much, or too little. You always seem to sharpen perfectly. I have a thing for contrast, so I guess the red vs. black vs white is just...perfect for me, visually, at least. In this photo, it even sets the mood!
Once again, you're welcome! I hope to see more from you and your friends!
