I really liked this icon, quite different than the rest, good composition and unusual crop most people wouldn't think of doing. Wonderful job! :-)

Special Category Votes - worth 1 vote
01 - Good coloring with the water being blue - I'm surprised no else thought of that, actually ;)
03 - lights give a different feeling to the pic.
07- This one looks great! Love that it's entirely in blues, black & white.
07 - deletion of background / use of blue highlight / text = awesome use of blue combination all around
09 - blue bubbles pop! :) Way to go!
10
10
11 - The composition with the different shades of color is quite eye-catching.
11 - three gradients of blue give dynamics to the image, the orange line gives a contrast that makes the little cuts emerge from the background giving a great effect. It's not only the best use of blue, IMHO, but the best use in general of colors this round.
16 - I think the subtle color really works well, it stands out in the sea of blue icons. Good job!
16 - subtle, not overtaking, really creates the mood. beautiful. love the green and the yellow in there as well.

Also, I know none of the changes here on livejournal have directly effect this community but I think this is something important and we should all support:
For those of you who don't already know, there has been a strike scheduled for Friday, March 21st, 2008, during which we hope to have many members of LiveJournal provide LJ with absolutely no content for twenty-four hours. This means no posting and no commenting. If you post elsewhere and have it set up to be posted through a feed on LiveJournal, don't do it. Stay away from LiveJournal for twenty-four hours. That can't be too hard, can it? I know some of you are probably quite active on LiveJournal and will find it hard to stay away for an entire day, just as I will, but this is something that needs to be done, to show the people running LiveJournal that we're watching the changes they are making, that we're paying attention, that we're discontent, and that we want to be heard and taken in to consideration. We are not simply users who can be tossed to the side and ignored. We are the people who make up LiveJournal. Without us, without the content we create, without our words, our voices, our creativity, our participation, there would be no LiveJournal. This is a fact, and it needs to be realized and understood and then taken in to consideration when making decisions regarding the way that LiveJournal is run. The strike is only a few days away, so there isn't all too much time to prepare. While this is unfortunate, it isn't enough to keep this strike from taking place. It will take place, the second it is meant to, and it would be best to have as many people take part as possible. Please, spread the word. Spread it fast. There are only a few days to organize this. If you find that you care about LiveJournal or care about the people you interact with on LiveJournal or simply want it to remain a place where you can entertain yourself without constant censorship and money-hungry practices being thrown in without the consideration of those who use the service, act now. If you don't wish to spread the word, that is fine, but please: refrain from using LiveJournal on Friday, March 21st. Do something else for a change. It's for a good cause. (:

What's this about?
* It's about free and ad-free LiveJournal accounts being abolished for new members, ignoring the advice from the newly-formed Advisory Board.
* It's about LJ staff trying to sneak this decision in under the radar, and when people found out, telling the users it was done 'to make the signup process less confusing'.
* It's about LJ staff failing to apologize for trying to hide the facts from view and for lying about the actual reasons for their actions.
* And finally, it's about the latest decision to hide certain user interests from the list of Most Popular Interests, some of them being fanfiction, bisexuality, sex and depression. This decision was not announced or explained in any way. Users found out for themselves.
