WORST VOTE COMMENTS
#02 - Hair is cropped awkwardly.
#06 - The colours are very good but the way the text is covering her face is ineffective and confusing.
#06 - The font is too large and covers Echo's face awkwardly.
#06 - nicely cropped but the texture used doesn't compliment the icon very well and the text is a bit overpowering.
#06 - The text is very poorly placed. Overlapping the image like this makes it very confusing as to where the focus of the icon is supposed to be.
#06 - font is overwhelming
#06 - The coloring looks very awkward like maybe you put a texture over her and it didn't really work. Also the fact that the text goes over the face bugs me. Sometimes that works, but when its so much on such a small piece it really doesn't fit.
#06 - The quality of the picture seems poor. The textures used gave the icons a grainy look very disturbing.
#06 - The text placement could be improved. Half of the text is lost in the corner and the other half is placed awkwardly over her face, taking the focus off her.
#06 - Icon is too busy and distracting
#07 - very nice crop but the icon appears a bit blurry and pixilated. could use a little sharpening.
#07 - Washed out color and the text doesn't quite work.
#07 - Low compression is very apparent around the text, which also takes too much focus from the subject.
#07 - it's undercontrasted, not sharpened enough, and the text is improperly antialiased.
#09 - The yellow coloring is overpowering.
#09 - Cropping is okay. But the picture looks grainy and over saturated.
#09 - The icon is very unappealing. Echo's skin is way too white and the yellow does nothing to help the icon. It's also way too oversharpened.
#09 - I like the crop, but the colors just don't work. The yellow takes over the icon and distracts from the subject.
#09 - The quality of this icon is extremely poor. The coloring is too bold and the image looks too washed out and grainy.
#09 - First off flipping the image made her eyes look a little odd. And then the coloring is far too bright, she just blends into the background. She also looks a little bit grainy.
#09 - The coloring makes it hard to tell who the subject is.
#09 - The composition is awkward, and so is the colour scheme.
#09 - The icon is way too overcontrasted, resulting in eliza looking washed out and grainy.
#09 - The icon is too yellow and the effect hides Echo's face.
#09 - it looks grainy and washed out.
#09 - yellow is overpowering. image quality is very poor.
#09 - The coloring is really washed out and the image looks a tiny bit pixalated and stretched.
#09 - Way over sharpened, very washed out coloring.
#09 - it looks oversharpened and the colors do not compliment the subject's face.
#09 - The icon is pixelated and the yellow colouring is overpowering the original image.
#09 - Colouring makes it almost impossible to recognise the subject.
#09 - Image is over-sharpened and the texture used takes from the icon.
#16 - Awkward blurring
#16 - Way too blurry.
#16 - Picture is blurred. It leaves no focus in the icon.
#16 - nice crop but the effect used makes the icon blurry and detracts from the overall quality of the icon.
#16 -The image looks blurry and pixelated almost beyond recognition.
#16 - very blurry.
#16 - The faded filters have blurred out the image. Would have probably worked better had the filters been partly erased.
#16 - The effects used detract from the icon, and make it look too blurry.
#16 - filter is distorting echo. would've been fine without all the blocks on her face.
#16 - the effect makes the whole icon look blurry.
#16 - The effect used deforms her face, it doesn't really add anything to the icon, but rather makes it look unnatural.
#17 - Too dark. A few screened layers would have helped a lot.
#17 - the text and coloring are plain and don't draw attention to the icon or make it stand out. more could have been done to help it stand out. the font is also hard to read, only the 'asleep' is really readable/noticeable.
#17 - Too dark, text is oddly placed
#18 - Icon can be brightened a bit. It appears a bit dark.
#19 - it's oversharp and overcontrasted.
#20 - The brushes used doesn't add anything to the picture; it covers Eliza up a bit and takes focus completely away from the photo.
#20 - The decorations are abstract and take away from the picture.
#21 - The clown makeup doesn't make sense to me and just feels really out of place.
#21 - The cropping is good and so is the contrast of black and white but the color in the cheeks and on the lips look clownish and unfinished.
#21 - The pink patches on the face are very distracting.
#21 - The black and white with just a hint of color works, but the color on the cheeks doesn't.
#21 - the blush and lipstick color doesn't look right.
#21 - Its an interesting idea but it just doesn't work out. the color on her lips is a little off, and I think a softer brush would have made the cheeks look a bit more realistic.
#21 - Although the idea is good, the execution doesn't work with the colors and blending.
#21 - It looks badly compressed and the coloured spots are too monochromed, as well as harshly lined out on the cheeks.
#21 - The red on her face looks off and doesn't work with the image.
#21 - The clown face of Echo is inappropriate and strange.
#21 - Colorization is cliched and antiquated. image quality is poor and cropping could be improved.
#21 - The coloring of the cheeks makes the icon look awkward, all though it is very creative (playing on the doll theme of the show) doesn't really draw my attention with the crop.
#21 - Undercontrasted, nonsensical and distracting duotone treatment.
#21 - the brushes on her face look very weird and don't blend well with it.
#21 - The coloured patches on her cheeks look out of place.
#21 - The painted brush is a bit too sharp. It would look better if blurred.
