Comments:
To eliminate:
01: The icon looks a bit dull and without enough contrast.
01: The image is a bit blurry
02: I don't see the point with the blue sky texture
02: I didn't like the cropping and the blue brush
03: The icon is to dark
03: The textures are too overpowering and the tiny text looses it's point
03: Oversharp; the tiny text is barely noticeable (because of the background) and therefore redundant
03: The textures overpower the image and are too distracting

To keep:
01: Nice colouring and cropping
01: I like the cropping and a little bit the coloring
02: Awesome cropping, but you could better use a green texture ;)
02: Very cool composition and original use of text and texture or stock image (whatever that is)
02: Cool crop and good use of texture
02: Interesting cropping
04: Simple and elegant
04: The zoom-out crop really fits and it's just the right amount of contrast.
