    The voting system is okay for me. I never put my votes in order. Only if it is pointed out in the rules.

    Oh wow, so many beautiful icons! Now it's getting real hard...

    03 - the cropping is odd. Where's her chin? ;)
    05 - lacks contrast, and the pink on top doesn't match the rest of the colors
    07 - the dots on the right sight just don't match the rest (which is beautifully done)

    This was tough!!!

    01 - emily looks too red
    03 - cropping is weird, since she's missing her chin
    07 - it seems a bit blurry to me

    03- Odd cropping, didn't make the most of the picture.
    01- A bit plain and oversharpened
    05- Too much contrast

    Wonderful job, this is so hard because all of these icons are amazing. We're really down to the best of the best, aren't we?

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    I apologize for you not feeling as though the voting system is fair, Hormiga :( In the future I may use the other voting system but I've used the old one through the entire competition thus far and I think it would be a bit unfair to change it now. The old system was just what I knew how to do :)

    Keep the votes coming, guys, voting closes tomorrow! :D

    Well, I was also taught by someone else, and this person by cofi, I guess, and I'm sure cofi was taught by another "older" member and so on, and this counting system seems to work pretty good, at least in my eyes :)

    Further more the voting position does matter, cause every time you get a tie, the position you gave the icon turns the scale.
    And the experience has shown that - no matter if you just count the votes in the first run or use the 3 points for 1st etc. - it's always the same icon that won.
    I checked it several times and it was conform.

    But nevertheless:
    Alright, as Ann already mentioned, next round it will be that way, everybody who runs a challenge can handle it the way he/she prefers, I just wanted to explain the voting system a bit more ;)

    Now: go on with voting! :D
    It's a very hard choice, really. Awesome icons everybody!

    Hmm, I'll have to have a long, hard think about this one...
