#1 I like the coloring of this one, and I think the text matches the overall mood of the icon. However, I'm a bit unsure about the crop: it's not a bad crop, but she looks a tad "boxed in": maybe a slightly closer crop would have worked better here. In terms of emotion though I think you did a good work :)
#2 I love how you worked on the middle section of this one. Colors are vibrant without being oversaturated and she looks meditative and perhaps a little worried. I'm a bit unsure about the b/w background picture: the middle section cuts it in two halves and makes them look a little awkward. However, I think it's a minor issue, because my attention is constantly drawn to the picture in the center and the background isn't distracting from the focal point of the icon.
#3 I love the crop! Composition-wise, this icon is very well executed and has a perfect balance. The coloring is very nice too, especially the deep blue of the background. Her facial expression is quite unreadable because of the far crop, but I think this choice adds an extra-interest to this icon instead of detracting from it.
#4 This one looks a tad dark on my monitor. I would have brightened it up a little more, to match the cheerful look of the lower cap. The pale yellow borders don't compliment the muted colors of her skin, also, perhaps white would have been a better choice - combined with a brighter and more vibrant coloring.
#5 This one is my favourite. The crop, the coloring, everything is perfect. You captured the emotion and enhanced it with this slightly dark, vibrant coloring. I also like the contrast between the intense colors of her figure against the bright sky behind her.
Thanks so much, it helps a ton! I totally agree with you, especially with the awkwardness of the crop on #2 and the coloring/brightness on #4 - it's always so frustrating when I know an icon looks a little off and I can't tell exactly why.
