At the very least I had to look at it for a 2nd time in order to recognize it was, indeed, cosplay, and not from the game itself.

I think it's the shadows, the background, the pose... and the costume which is pretty damn well made. I think it deserved first prize, but Yuna's is fantastic as well.

In terms of shot composition the Yuna cosplayer should have won. But I have to say, the level of detail in the Undead Prince Ricard outfit was very high.

I agree on detail part, but costume still screams cosplay for always ignored lived-in look. At least he could made it look like grimy and dirty to reflect the world the character represents.

The photo of the person cosplaying as Yuna is the one I favor because of the beautiful sunset in the background. Smile

That Yuna photograph was positively stunning.
The winner was good too. Don't really see anything special about that Yoko photo though.

Yuna was definitely my favourite as well. If she was somehow standing on the water it would be perfect Very Happy
