    Ah, this is tough! As usual!

    Least
    4 - Image is a bit blurry and too much contrast.
    2 - Text and negative space overwhelms the smaller image.
    15 - The graphic seems unnecessary and is distracting.

    Best
    5 - The text and sidebar compliment the icon very nicely.
    9 - Crisp, neat, and clean. I like!

    Least:
    15 - I don't mean to be rude but it looks like you used toilet-paper as a frame. It's very distracting. Riley is the subject and should stand out more, she to vague in this icon.The text is oddly placed and although the red/pink stroke makes is easier to read it doesn't fit the image.

    01 - The crop isn't bad but the flat background clearly shows it's not perfect. I like using tiny text but only if it adds something to the icon. In this case it seems to be there for no reason.

    08 - The text does'nt make sense to me and is oddly placed. Part of Riley's face is a bit red, it looks like the gradient wasn't used just for the background.

    Best:
    11 - Great colouring! It's difficult to make a good crop when using only a part of the face but you did a fantastic job!

    04 - Maybe Riley is too oversharpened and you could've used less contract but sometimes it just works, I love the outcome! It makes Riley stand out great!

    Least

    04: There's a significant amount of contrast, which creates uneven coloring on the skin and almost washes it out.
    15: The texture doesn't seem to fit with the subject and is detracts from the focus of the subject (Riley).
    05: The texture seems to take over the rest of the icon and makes Riley grainy and blurry.

    Best

    06: Awesome crop and style, and the colouring works well.
    08: Really cool idea and colouring; everything fits together.

    This is getting harder and harder. Good well done everyone.

    LQ
    15-The border takes away from Riley. My eyes keep going to it rather than Riley.
    02-The text and empty background overwhelm Riley
    06-The lettering is too cramped together which makes it hard to see the name.


    BQ
    11-Nicely cropped and coloured
    16- The floral background adds to Riley's bubbly personality.

    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 4 - Voting!

    Least
    15 - As said before, the texture draws the attention away from Riley
    04 - Too much contrast
    05 - Riley looks too orange and the texture should have been erased from her face. Makes the icon look too grainy

    Best
    02 - I really like this one, although Riley could stand out a bit more
    11 - Nice. So smooth and a good crop

    Least:
    04 - too much contrast.
    03 - well I don't know if its just me but the icon looks a little oversharpened to me.
    02 - Text is really overwhelming and draws attention away from the subject.

    Least
    04 - too much contrast
    10 - plain
    16 - the frame is too big and goes too much on her face

    Best
    06 - even though it's not too original (i've seen this type of icon many times), it still looks amazing
    02 - funny and nicely designed

    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 4 - Voting!

    Least:
    16 - The text is oddly placed. It goes over Riley's chin and the way it cuts off is a bit weird.
    02 - The picture is a little dark.
    04 - The lighting on Riley is a bit strange looking and almost makes her look yellow.

    Best:

    06 - Great font and the colouring is great.
    13 - The colouring is neat.
