COMMENTS
2:
- A little too sharpened, the dot brush doesn't really work.
- The "orb" textures plus the text, coupled with the close-up style of cropping of Mariska overcrowd the icon
+ the colouring is simple and elegant

3:
- it's too sharp, it's hard to see the facial features unlike the other icons
- The man in the icon takes up more room than Mariska. Also, Mariska seems over-sharpened.
+ Simple, elegant and nice use of cropping. Your eye is really drawn to Mariska

4:
- the brightness of the colours on each side of mariska are too distracting, the eye is drawn away from mariska when it should be the other way around.
- The colors don't really match with her dress and are distracting from the picture of Mariska

5:
+ Good cropping, the font works well with the picture, and I love that the font is on an angle
