    Re: LIMS #5: Round 3 Voting Open!

    Lowest Quality

    02 - you used too many brushes all in one spot
    15 - the icon is too safe. it's basically only been cropped and desaturated. lacks a bit of creativity.
    08 - there is too many things going on here, and they don't go together.

    Highest Quality

    09 - a structured professional work that requires higher level skills on PS. very, very pretty.
    11 - you got my vote for your courage to submit an icon with such crop (it's LIMS after all ;)) i like its originality and the coloring.

    02 - The picture looks grainy and squished and the b&w brush/texture? doesn't fit the icon.
    14 - A bit grainy and the bubble texture doesn't go well with the icon. The added light effect is kind of distracting.
    13 - I really like the colouring, but the icon appears to be oversharpened.

    Best
    07 - Great! Not too fancy and very effective.
    09 - Different but very cool. The b&w effect fits the icon well.

    02-The icon looks squished and grainy since sara's face to the brushes.
    14-It has a nice colouring but the bubble ruined it..it looks out of place it just doesn't work.
    15-The icon looks plain without life with a little contrast it could have worked out.
    Best
    06-Lovely colouring not too bright not too dark..plus the brush totally worked it out.
    09-Love the cropping..the textures,brushes..it all work it out they just complement.

    15 - The icon is plain and the grey scale makes it even duller. The the top seems a bit blurred from a frame or something.

    8 - The lines on the left look out of place and the color by it looks like it was a mistake or something.

    2 - Sara looks squished from the cropping and it's grainy.

    Best

    10 - I think the cropping is done perfect and the coloring. I love the brush used on it also, matches good.

    1 - Again I think the cropping, and coloring on this was done perfect. I like the natural coloring of her skin.

    02. The image is pretty grainy and the brush doesn't seem to work with the rest of the icon.
    03. While the coloring is nice, the image looks over sharpened and the tiny-text brush at the bottom takes away from the rest of it.
    15. The application of greyscale doesn't seem to have worked well here. Perhaps the image needed some tinkering with contrast before turning it black and white.

    Best
    12. Great crop, great coloring and the color of the gradient or texture used in the bottom corner really suits the image.
    04. Nice crop, and use of textures though I think I'd like it even more if the saturation was just a touch less, particularly on her lips.

    sorry to see you go Jodie and dstined4gr8ness.
    wow I am still in shock that I passed this round I was almost sure wasn't going to make it this round since I took a huge risk sending that icon.
    Thanks for the mods choice, Megan!
