Thank you! Any critiques to help me get better?

Well I don't really have any critiques. I will say that 5 and 6 are definitely my favorites. I think they're all nice composition, but they're not all my style. I definitely like the worn/antique look.

I suppose I think that 5 & 6 provoke the strongest emotional response, rather than just being pretty. If that makes sense :)

Oh, and 12 is a definite runner up to 5 & 6

I like the worn/antique look too, but I'm trying to experiment more with colours, textures, etc.

And I'm glad you like 12... it didn't do very well in the challenge it was entered in, but then again, there were some amazing icons entered!

It can be hard not to repeat the look of an icon when there's a finite number of caps in a show. You see a lot of the same scenes over and over and many are cropped the same exact way. It's part of the reason I no longer watch the disney icons community.

On the other hand, just because a pic is cropped differently doesn't mean it looks better.
