    Least
    10 - The format has degraded the image quality, and the text is near unreadable. (unintentionally so)
    14 - Images need to maintain aspect ratio when they are resized.
    24 - It's good to experiment with color but Hue/Saturation controls only go so far. Also, if the crop hadn't been so tight the text wouldn't interrupt your subject matter

    Best
    26 - Great use of negative space and an interesting crop.
    27 - Great coloring, I'm not sure that last texture on there was necessary, but one way or the other it's original. There's nothing more refreshing than seeing originality and being able to see when someone just tried something different for a change. Kudos.

    Wow a lot of votes, these do a lot better than the regular icon challenges in getting votes. And it also shows how different everyone's taste in. I've seen the best icons are getting the least favorite votes, whatever the reason it gives everyone a chance.

    I thought voting was closing today, or is it at a cetain time?

    Er, I guess it depends on the time zone, it should be late (?) afternoon at Meg's place, so the voting could still be open a few hours...possibly...I'll stop babbling now :p

    Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge One ~ Results!

    I apologize for not getting this done yesterday. I've been battling a migraine, which makes it difficult to look at a computer screen for more than a few minutes at a time. I'm feeling much better today. However, I had major problems with my photoshop program when I was trying to make banners. It took me about twice as long as usual to make them *grr*.

    Also, as I was working on the banners, I decided that Mod's Choice was too boring, so I changed it ;) Now it should be right up there with YouWowedQuoth, The Gah! Award, and AdzCollapsedInAwe, as we've had in previous LIMS :lol:

    Alright, that's enough outta me. I won't make you wait any more ;)


    LIMS #7 Challenge 01 ~ Results

    Unfortunately, there always has to be a first one (or 2, in this case) to leave. Our first two eliminations are:

    Thank you both so much for participating. I hope enjoyed yourselves, and that you look at this as a positive experience. Hope to see you back here for more voting, and eventually LIMS #8 :)

    And now for some happier news:

    Voter's Choice Award:
