    Least:

    07 - It's hard to see what the picture is because it's all jumbled up. The icon is also quite dark, so it's hard to tell what's going on.

    17 - I like the idea of the icon and the colouring is great, but the picture is a little blurry.

    05 - The icon is too blurry.

    These are all great! I hate this part tho. :(

    Least
    7 - I think the crop itself would have worked if it was clearer and without the text or with some different text/font. As is, a bit too much going on here so it's hard to see the overall idea.
    17 - Kind of bright...the negative space might have been used for tiny text or something to fill it in...the cut is a bit off.
    5 - The pic and text are nice, but it's a bit blurry.

    Best
    19 - I love the colors and the contrast on this one.
    11 - I like the text and how it's cropped.

    Least:
    05 - the pic is too blurry
    12 - overall pic is dark and lack a bit of contrast
    21 - the pic is too contrast-y, especially around the nose and mouth where it's too bright

    Best:
    15 - i like the coloring of the pic and composition and the slight touch of the texture. :)
    02 - i like the composition and the lighting.

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

    Least:
    5- The image is too blurry, and his face is unclear.
    10- The icon's overall color washes out his figure. And the picture looks over sharpened.
    12- The icon is too dark. The image is hard to discern. It would work better if it were brightened up a bit, and the contrast was upped a bit.

    Least:

    05 - too dark, it looks very blurry
    17 - too over sharpened and the icon a little flashy
    21 - too over sharpened, too much contrast

    Best:

    01 - it's simply but I love the colouring very much
    02 - the background with the texture, together with the font, fits marvelous

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

    Least:

    7 - While this is a unique icon, I cannot tell what is really going on, nor make out the subject.
    4 - The light effect makes the text hard to read. And Nick looks like he was cut and placed on to the back ground.
    14 - The icons is very dark, hard to separate Nick from the background. Also the text is oddly placed.

    05 - its just a bit too blurry for my taste
    17 - it looks a bit like nick isnt really in the picture...with...the white around his head it makes the icon look a bit...strange
    12 - i somehow dont like the font. the crop used is ok, a little bit too dark, but the font makes it look a bit weird

    17 - Not a good cut. The green behind Nick's left shoulder isn't part of the shirt but the colour makes it seem like it is which looks odd.
    04 - Love the colours but the use of white around Nick makes it look as if he's a part of the clouds. That makes no sense given the fact he's standing in a field of flowers. I think the stroke around the text is a bit too much. I would've done it more subtle.
    18 - Nick's head looks weird. It seems like his face is longer than it should be and is too sharp.

    Best
    25 - I really like the colouring and fading background. The text is faded a bit too and fits the image perfectly.
    11 - Love the text. The colours make the glasses stand out but not too dominant.

    09 - The icon is too grainy. It might be a texture, but it should have been erased from Nick's face.
    05 - As said before, the icon is too blurry.
    17 - Nick should have been cut out more precisely.

    Best
    22 - LOVE it! I like everything about this icon: the texture(s), the use of text, etc.
    15 - The colors are great and the icon looks really smooth.

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

    Well done guys, these are all awesome, it was very difficult to choose!

    Least:
    17 - Nick seems somewhat washed out and kinda blends into the background.
    21 - Seems to be overcontrasted and Nick's face is somewhat difficult to make out, it all kind of blends together.
    05 - Nick himself looks somewhat blurred, taking away from the effect of the icon as a whole.

    Best:
    22 - Original idea, looks altogether fantastic.
    07 - The effect works well with the pic, looks awesome.

    Wow what a Ward Girl's delight you have here. All the icons are good and as Smokey said here's the hard part.

    LQ

    17- The background is washed out and with the blue running into it makes it hard on the eyes
    21- facial features are washed out
    22- the faded background and the light text are difficult to see

    BQ
    16-The double exposure effect is nice
    2-nice crisp and clean
