Favorite:
- Great and funny use of text.

:( At this point, we have to really nit-pick. With this icon, I'd say that the main issue is the green background. It is unevenly applied on each side of Dean. I think leaving some of the original background is a good idea, but it might work better if it was fairly even on both sides. Also, I think Dean is just a bit too yellow. He doesn't quite pop enough compared to the background & text. Speaking of text, that part is great.

Holy crap, I won member's choice? Oh man, thanks so much you guys! :) I'll take #2 unscreened please.

Congrats!

- Maybe I'm biased, but Dean is so damn pretty and this icon definitely showcases that. I also think the soft blue background works great here, rather than overpowering Dean. Nice work!

Ahh, I figured this was going to be the end for me. Comments for #1, unscreened is fine. Thank you! (:

:( Well thank you for participating! I really enjoyed seeing the icons you made. :)

Least Favorite:
- The coloring is uneven, especially on Sam's face/cheek. Also, the crop doesn't work very well for me, it seems rather generic.
- I feel like there just isn't something to make the icon pop. The coloring is good and the crop is good but it lacks the spark to bring it together. Maybe more textures or a different coloring would bring it together more.

Comments
- I adore profile photos/icons, and this one of Sam is so lovely. I think the coloring is soft and natural, befitting the subject. Nice clarity and sharpening as well. It may not be as dramatic as the other icons, but I think it is well executed and pretty.

Least Favorite:
- Sam and Dean are just a little too dark, it is hard to make out their faces.
- The colouring isn't working for me with the strong oversaturation and you need to look twice to discern what is being depicted here. The stripes at the top and bottom disturb the composition and seem really unnecessary. I can't tell if they are edited in or if it's due to the cropping but if the latter a closer crop would have been better.
