~ I love this cap, but the coloring is a little bland. Try uping the saturation and maybe add a curves layer to make it brighter. Really enhance the red/dark areas of Cara's skin. xbellaxdivax

+++ I love the fade away effect, it looks almost as if the icon was moving, giving it a lot more emotion.
++ I really like the coloring

+++ no reasons given
++ Lovely texture/lightblob use.
++ Beautiful coloring.
++ no reasons given
++ Love, love, love the negative space in this icon. The texture used to create it is gorgeous. The cutout of both Kahlans is a bit jagged around the edges though. Some soft blurring around the edges (either cut out using the layer mask so you can blur that afterward or duplicate the cutout layer and use the blur tool in the tool box to manually blur the edges) to smooth that out would have given this icon that last little bit of polish.
++ great blending of texture and cap
++ lovely composition, and the colors are so demure
+ no reasons given
+ Like the contrast between the white of the background and the dark of the figures

+++ Love the use of blocking and the negative space behind each Kahlan. It really brings the focus to each one and their expressions. The icon is a touch dark though so the colors don't pop as much as they might have. Otherwise, it is a fabulous icon.
