++ lovely coloring and great use of the texture
+ great use of textures, especially the borders. the colouring is a little red in places, but other than that, it looks great.
~ Although I really like this icon, I feel as if you oversharpened the icon a bit too much, either through the sharpen tool or oversaturation. I couldn't vote for it because of that, even though I otherwise really love it.
~ while the crop and idea of the icon is good, the image is a bit over contrasted and reddened
~ #12 would have been great if the red had been toned down just a bit, it gives the icon a very harsh quality
~ a bit over-saturated.
