LIMS #6 Final Challenge!: 140x140 - Winners!

Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 1: No Brushes ~ Voting!

Least

12- Too dark which makes the overall icon unflattering. Also, the crop is odd. Perhaps cutting off a bit more of Grissom's face, or downsizing the image to fit better would make it more appealing.
03- Really unique but the center really could use a bit more sharpening and contrast. Also, I'm not sure if the large black border on the bottom is supposed to be that thick, but it looks like it just stops halfway up, making it a bit choppy. If that's part of the texture then not really your fault but yeah.
11- The colouring makes Grissom look a bit sickly. It's a strange combination of green and pink that doesn't compliment the icon.

Best

09- Lovely colouring! The crop and the text are placed perfectly and the background really draws one to the subject. Good job. :)
10- Another lovely colouring. It's soft on the eyes and the faded text (not sure if it's part of a texture) adds that something extra.

Great job everyone. :D

Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 1: No Brushes ~ Voting!

Best:
16 - for me perfect one, I like this cropping and colours.

Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 1: No Brushes ~ Voting!

An inner voice told me to jump in here and to make a vote finally! ;)

So here we go, as always so hard to judge about the icons, great work everyone!

Least:

12 - not enough contrast and a bit too plain for my taste
10 - I like the idea and the background, but Grissom fades too much into it because of the chosen coloring
04 - great style, but oversharpened

Best:

14 - just great: coloring, blending, use of text = love it :)
01 - same here: good combination of everything!

Phew, this was hard. Again: great work EVERYONE!
