I’ll admit I know very little about stringed instruments, but given Octavia’s talent and that most fiddle players seem giddy and have a lot of fun playing the fiddle it seems reasonable :P

I guess what makes this pic great is the eyes. They really resemble Octavia’s.
 
And the cosplayer made me love Octavia even more.

My thoughts exactly.  
Continuing on this train of thought, it’s completely plausible that Octavia Melody and Fiddlesticks are, in actuality, the same pony.  
Maybe playing bluegrass country music on the fiddle is Octavia’s way of blowing off steam and an escape of the seriousness that enshrouds her when she plays her more classical stringed instruments.

That sounds quite accurate when said like this. Maybe she specializes in strings and ended up loving the cello, in the end. She doesn’t look like she only plays one instrument.

Mission accomplished.  
It actually makes more sense to me that Octavia would be an excellent violinist; her cutie marks is a treble clef, which is the clef violins commonly use (as opposed to the bass clef used by cellos).  
To me, the cello seems like something she picked up after she got her cutie mark.

Wrist is not touching it (I cannot bend my wrist that much to begin with) and the bow is about to touch the strings.
 
(As a side note, It felt irrespectful to the Violin because you know, using it for image is not what an instrument is for… maybe I do care too much…)

My favorite cosplay pic, right here.  
Her facial structure suits Octavia as does the serious and focused expression. There is a barely noticable sneer that suggests she is awfully self-critical as she is playing her piece (hinting that Octavia’s artistic angst fuels her quest for perfection). The jet black hair also reflects the Octavia’s passion for music and seriousness of the piece as a whole.
 
All in all excellent cosplay; it effectively captures and portrays Octavia’s character thoroughly.  
10/10
