15- That text is extremely loud and so contrasting to the overall softness of the rest of the image that it steals all focus from the graphic content of the icon.
4- A nice shot a merging a couple of images but a city scape is an awfully busy background to layer with someone's face, resulting in kind of a cluttered image. The tiny text also isn't really lending anything to the icon in style or placement, especially with such a busy image already.
11- Not every image translates well to a black and white, especially not without level and contrast correction, resulting in a rather greyed out subject.

2 - A little less sharpening would help, but whether or not it was, the cutout style looks intentional. The text is handled pretty nicely, so it's not stealing any focus and the layering effects make Sheldon's face stand out nicely as a focal point. Nice job.
19 - The crop and contrast is the best thing about this one but think it might be ever stronger without the text.
