    Least:
    21- Cute idea but the icon is way too blurry.
    1- Would have been better if you cropped it a different way and the notes being there is a little odd.
    15- like the coloring but its too blurry.

    Best:
    6- Love everything about it. The coloring is great and so is the text.
    9- I really like the black and white effect, especially with the red font. Nice job.

    Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting!

    Least:
    16 - too blurry
    22 - blurry, not strong contrast so background is dominating
    18 - too oversharpened

    Best:
    4 - text is great and even with this strong blurry effect it looks really cool
    5 - simple effects and it looks perfect

    Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting!

    Least:
    02 - The coloring is off
    01 - The crop is too severe
    16 - The face is a bit dark

    Best:
    17 - I love the crop and the coloring. I love the way you kept it without text, it's so much more dramatic this way. :)
    07 - The crop and background fits. I'll prefer it without text though, but there's just my opinion. ;)

    This is going to be a tough one!

    Least
    01 - Unfortunate cropping and so the notes just don't fit very well. Perhaps also try to play a bit more with contrast and light?
    21 - First of all: awesome idea! :lol: But the picture of Archie is a bit too small and looks kinda squished and blurred, what takes away the focus of the main subject (Archie).
    18 - again a great idea with the border, but now Archie looks over sharpened or over contrasted

    Best
    04 - Love all about this: the composition of crop and text and the dusty look - I'm a huge fan of such icons
    06 - You achieved what I couldn't with this picture! Great coloring, perfect contrast and the little light effect - great work!

    02 -It doesn't look like much has been done to this icon aside from cropping and text. The cropping is nice and I have no huge issue with the text, but I'm not sure they're quite enough on their own. While it does look a bit lighter, sometimes coloring can really clean up a simple crop.
    01 - I REALLY wanna commend you for being creative with your cropping! Keep it up, it's great to see people trying more risque things! That said, like #02, this doesn't seem to have had much else done to it, short of the music brushes. I think this one would pop more if it had some coloring tweaks beyond just lightening it.
    21 - The copy is GREAT. Very funny, but the image hasn't been scaled properly and the coloring seems just like the cap.

    Best
    18 - Nice coloring, I really like rich saturation and the bordering brush works great to even this image out for the placement of some nicely selected copy.
    12 - The soft ethereal coloring here really works with the distance at which you've cropped the image and the negative space that crop provides.

    The perfect example of how you don't need any fancy extras to have a beautiful icon. Simple is sometimes the best way to go. Great work!
