#03 - the colouring is a little strange and makes her face look weird esp on the left side of her face; it's probably because of the light, but the colouring makes it look green and unnatural; also, the text is too big for the icon;
#01 - the texture is overpowering the icon; the colours of the texture don't really suit the coloring of the original picture of evangeline/kate; also, the subject need more brightening

FAVORITE
#07 - awesome colouring and cropping =)

#01 - the background overpowers the subject as it has both more colour & more contrast. The text also seems squished into the corner, rather than part of the icon
#06 - The icon looks like its been oversmoothed then sharpned, her skin looks for lack of a better tern, clay-like. The texture use seems random & the crop is uninteresting, perhaps a tighter crop?

FAVORITE
#04 - While the colouring is completely unoriginal & 'trendy', the icon has the most intesting crop & is well sharpened.

#06 - the cropping is odd, makes her neck look large. also, the icon is a bit blurry in some areas (like in the hair)
#02 - the coloring is too pinkish, and the cropping is not flattering the subject

FAVORITE
#03 - cool coloring & use of text

ELIMINATE
#03 - the skin looks greenish, because of the too much yellow in the colouring and it makes a bad contrast with the blue side of her face; also the text's size and placement is distracting;
#06 - the icon overall looks blurry, but the edges oversharpened, which makes a very weird combination; i guess there is also an overuse of brightnest/contrast layers;

#05 - the grass in the image really overwhelms the person. A little more contrast would help with this probably.
#06 - the image looks a little blurry. Perhaps if the crop wasn't as close then the image would look clearer.

FAVORITE
#07 - I love the crop and use of light. Lovely.
