round one challenge sixteen; voting

[megalicious]

In an unusual twist, voting is going up a bit early. :) All the entries are in, and I won't be available later on to post this, so here goes.

voting rules
- If you entered an icon, you MUST VOTE! If you do not, you will be ineligible to receive People's Choice or Mod's Choice. (Entrants may vote, but it is NOT required.)
- However... you do not

#06 - the crop is ok, but the colouring is too bright esp on her face and makes her look weird; +the background (idk if this is a texture?) is really distracting and doesn't fit with the image esp with her clothes pattern;

FAVORITE
#03 - nice soft colouring and the light effect is great <3

#6 - her face is really light and her eyes look over sharpened

FAVORITE
#1 - the contrast is really nice and the texture doesn't over power the icon

#02 - the branches are a little distracting and some of the text is too light making it hard to read. Without the branches and text it would have made a great negative space icon.

FAVORITE
#01 - Nice contrast and use of texture and space.

ELIMINATE
#2 - The texture used is awkward and green is not really the best colour for the background for winter.

FAVORITE
#1 - The smoky effect reminds me of winter and the crop is good.

ELIMINATE
#02 - the white texture around the edges is distracting; the text doesn't do anything for the icon, the yellow and red doesn't suit the green look and it's cut off so i can't understand what it's saying;

FAVORITE
#05 - it was actually a tie for me between #01 and #05 - both icons are lovely; but in the end the colouring decided it for me;
