VOTES-
#1-
- The cropping looks awkward. You cannot see the face...
- Unflattering crop, and 'Jack White' would be more suitable text since not even half of him can be seen, let alone Meg.
- weird cropping
- The cropping isn't very appealing
- I don't like the way that you can't see the subject's face and the text is too simple.
- terrible cropping, the text is distracting also
+ very original cropping. I normally dislike white text in icons but this mixes well with the icon coloring
+ The cropping, text placement, and coloring are all great.
+ no reason given

#2-
- The pic's very small, its hard to tell what it is...
+ no reason given
+ I looooove the cropping!
+ Lovely composition, neat texture, and the text is very well done
+ good use of black and white and text works really well

#3-
- Too dark and messy. Nothing special was done to it, sorry.
+ nice colouring and textures
+ I love the coloring
+ I really like the colouring and use of textures on this icon

#4-
- the cropping is unflattering and the text is overly pixelated
+ Nice use of texture, interesting cropping and good text placement

#5-
- The yellow is a little distracting at first and it's a little bit hard to know who is in the icon because of the cropping
- The flash is a funny idea but the placement isn't very good
- Entire icon seems random - bright yellow lightning brush doesn't fit, and due to the cropping, most of the icon is blank
+ Very interesting
+ no reason given
+ very creative!

#6-
- It would have looked a lot better without the text, it really lowers the quality of the icon
- it just doesn't look like the icon flows. The texture/text don't go together
- Texture added doesn't fit the icon, text isn't easy to read and the font clashes
- The texture and text don't fit the picture, and the coloring is too blue
- There is way too much going on here and the 'la's on the bottom don't really suit the icon
- crop and text placement are unexciting, the texture doesn't add anything either
- text doesn't work with the icon
- The text is badly-placed and the colouring is too blueish
- Text placement is hard to read in spots and the bright white light with the texture on the side makes the whole thing just overwhelming
- seems nothing was done to the colouring, the icon shows me lack of creativity
+ no reason given

#7-
- the image could be a bit sharper and the arrangement of the circles looks very random
- The texture is very distracting. It's hard to focus on Jack
- The circular texture sort of over powers the icon
- The textures, while being popular, distracts from the overall image
- the texture is overpowering
- icon is too blurry
- the icon is too busy and the colouring washed out
+ Creative use of brushes, it really stands out form the rest

#8-
- The red text isn't readable and the scribbles above the head look akward.
- The text looks kind of oversharp
- The font isn't really working, its getting lost. Maybe a solid font would work better

and there was one more comment-
