That's quiet the angle. And the grasses are just so cool. Not to mention all the detail in that fabric

This picture is just amazing. I can clearly see your own style in this picture, and in your other pictures too.

Your ability to draw realistic folds in cloth makes me so darned jealous. |:C

I may be watching too many shoot-em-up Let's Plays, but this angle and amount of wind activity makes me imagine that a helicopter has positioned himself above the character, to his bemused surprise. XD
But apart from that, the close frame around the cloak seems a little awkward, and makes me feel that it could have been rearranged into a different composition; perhaps some cropping of the cloak, or making the character not so much in the center to remove that sense of a 'circle inside a rectangle' initial visual cue. That is only my aesthetic bias directing me towards that impulse, however, and may not have been what the commissioner or yourself were looking for.
I really applaud you on the lovely form the cloak takes on with such supple gradients and lighting. The hue of blue is really alluring to me as well - you always seem to pick such gorgeous, shining blues! They always stand out to me with such deep vividness. The pose is well thought out, and sets the character's emotion well. Very nice work!

As always, I really appreciate your critique! Thank you so much!
I agree with you that the composition is terrible. I really wanted to crop the cloak but the commissioner specifically asked me not to, so I didn't. I tried to fuss with the framing to make it less centered, but ultimately couldn't come up with anything I liked so I just went with what I had. -_- I agree with your opinion, and I thank you for taking the time to point it out.

Leccathu, you are an awesome person!

I've never quite understood the compulsion to have things like cloaks drift off out of view. As a photographer, I feel that composition is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp properly. However, the Rule Of Thirds is as good a textbook guide as you'll get, and I think it would only make sense to position the character to the left or right, and fill the other side with something, in this case flying fabric folds.
Is there another concept that I'm missing here?

That's too bad. I can certainly sympathize with what happened - I am honestly kind of surprised that my commissioners have not begrudged me on any of my compositions. Doesn't matter, though - progression is what progression does. 
Aw - thanks, Rah.
