    Lots of "Sexy Backs" :p It was a tough choice

    7 - Odd colours and lack of contrast
    2 - Too much contrast and too sharp
    9 - Blurry and the colouring of the 2nd Sara is odd. It doesn't fit in

    Fantastic icons all! :D

    01) Blurry. Also the oddlt placed tiny text adds nothing to the overall icon.

    03) Lacks contrast. Odd crop.

    02) I generally like this style but I don't think it works for the screenshot used - Gil and Cath kinda look like they have elongated backs. Also, a little oversharpened.

    Personally, I love #7 - I just watched Law of Gravity tonight and this icon really reflects the eppy for me. Am I ok to add that - or should we just stick to the voting at this point?

    That's perfectly fine, csi_fan_uk :) I'm sure it makes the iconmakers feel very good about themselves ;)

    Now it's getting really difficult to chose...I love all of them, but

    2- is oversharpened
    5- is too sharp as well
    7- the colorin is odd, and it lacks contrast

    9 The icon lost any focus, Sara was not "repeated" well
    3 Strange crop, and a bit oversharpened
    1 Blurred...?

    3 - odd cropping
    7 - very blurry and text is hard to read in the upper right corner
    1 - over sharpened and it seems the text is placed in a weird spot

    nice work everybody!
