What are you using for lighting in your pictures? Are you using diffusers/reflectors?
These are all naturally lit. Just know where to place your subject in relation to the sun. Not completely blowing the highlights so that in post i can bring up the blacks/shadows. Most of them were just backlit to get a slight rim lighting effect. Nothing with reflectors or diffusers, yet.

your images need contrast, these are pretty hard to look at.

composition is good tho

The ones that are faded, I was trying something out and the backgrounds of the on the convention floor were "busy"...so I was just really trying to put the focus on the cosplayers.

I thought that was the case. Looked like you were going for that faded look to me.
