I knew it was going to be me this round, my icon was too weird. Anyway, congrats to everyone!

I actually liked your icon - it was unique and really different. ♥

- honestly, it is a beautiful icon, and all these are lovely, but I just had to pick a least favorite =/ I guess for a reason this would be least favorite, is I prefer the other colorings and text placements

F:
- Absolutely gorgeous coloring and background enhancement and use of text
- nice coloring, and the fade into blurriness works well with the text
- (no comment)
- Beautiful composition and wise use of text. Also like the warm colourin

LF:
- While creative borders on an icon can look amazing, here it doesn't really work. It kills the negative space on one side of the icon, and looks strange covering Dean's head on the other side. It makes the icon look crowded. And the contrast is a bit too high.
- too bright and over-contrasted.
- the colouring is too bright and the bordes on the left and right side are weird
- the boys have a strange double line around their faces, esp. noticable in deans profile/nose, this really brings out the grainyness of the icon, perhaps too close of a crop for the image?
- overcontrasted, particularly with Dean - his skin looks completely white.
- Even though the idea is very nice, crop is not so good. There is not much sense in putting border in front of their faces, move of the picture closer to the left and a little lower could make a better effect. Also, the image is a bit over-brightened

F:
- I love the coloring and the effects on the borders are effective but not distracting.
