There was a famous crime scene photographer through the 30s and 40s in New York named Arthur Fellig, also known as Weegee. It's said his work influenced the Noir genre so I felt it was appropriate to reference his camera for the photographer in the first panel. I felt the bright flash rim lighting Tilly as she begins the discussion was very stylish and appropriate here.This is the first time we see Muskgrave and Leach in full uniform. I'm realizing now I could have emphasized their identites a little better but I think I was hoping that I could infer it well enough by mirroring the staging I introduced the characters initially in a couple chapters back.When the protagonists are in full dress like this I lose the majority of their facial expressions apart from head angle so I need to start relying more on body language to lend personality to them. Muskgrave does a lot of arm-crossing, appearing closed off, thoughtful, maybe even cold. I would have liked to do a little more with Leach but truth be told I'm still getting a handle on her character myself!

I really like your techniques for foregrounding and backgrounding. Both here and in the aforementioned meeting between the three principals. Also, I agree that the use of the lighting in the first panel is very effective.

The flash lighting is really good. It's probably my autism that blinds me to non-verbal communication that kept me from picking up who the other two masked people with Tilly are. So don't think of changing anything on my account.
