/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely appreciate it.
I'm on a Mac, so I don't have that editor, I use pixlr online usually. I might see if my friend who took the photos has some time to edit those for me, but he just started a new job and I don't particularly want to bother him for something so petty as a /cgl/ contest...I messed around a bit with the levels and contrast, but I'll see if I can do a bit more myself.

I will admit capturing the ..."moe essence" was difficult for me, largely because I've never been much of an anime person. I've read plenty of manga in my lifetime, but it's obviously a lot different of a portrayal in a drawing versus an animation. That was probably my biggest worry - that the "moe" wasn't strong enough.
Unfortunately, taking more photos is definitely not an option, because of my photographer's schedule + last week was spring break, so I had plenty of free time and next to none now! But I really like to hear the feedback nonetheless.


And since the thread 404d and I happened to upload my collage right before it went into auto-sage, here it is again.
I need to peruse the archives for the "story", because I was stupid and didn't copy it anywhere else.

Alrighty, biting the bullet and posting my collage!

>初恋 (Hatsukoi/First Love)
>Part One:
17-year-old Eri is a typical high school student, in all but one aspect: she's never been in love. But when transfer student Ren Tanaka enters her 3rd year class, she feels those butterflies for the very first time and decides it's finally time to confess! Will he return her feelings??

>Part Two:
By some stroke of luck, Tanaka-kun agreed to a date! But rumors soon start flying that he was known at his old school for being the ultimate playboy. If the rumors are true, will his attitude toward love crush Eri's naive optimism?

And a translation of the Japanese portions on my collage, from left:
"I like Tanaka-kun. It's my first love!"
"Finally we're going on a date!"
"But I'm a little worried..."
"Is Tanaka-kun really a player??"
"What should I do..."
