+++ - Great use of negative space.

+ - I like how the warm colouring of the texture is reflected in Rose's skin and hair
~ Rose is a bit dark, I think the icon would look great if it was a bit brighter.

+ - i like the text, and the coloring is nice, not to harsh of a red.
~ if this one wasn't so dark it would be vying for a top spot. the texture on the side looks lovely and the text looks terrific.

++ no comment
+ - I love the texture use and the cap choice, it looks kind of dream-like. The white blur works great, it makes the icon look shiny.
~ the contrast is a bit too high on this one, and the light texture kind of blurs the image, maybe a lower opacity would have worked.
~ I love this icon, but a bit more light on The Doctor and Rose would really make it.

~ This is fantastically creative! Really great texture use and choice of images. The only thing I don't like is that the crops make it look like The Doctor is standing on Rose's eye...

+++ - great coloring!

~ There is too much saturation here in Rose's face, try a soft light layer to soften the red in her cheek complexion.

~ The icon needs a little more contrast, and more brightness. The coloring is a bit too green.

~ The text doesn't really work with the image, it distracts the attention from Rose and doesn't feel like it's "a part" of the icon.

+++ - very subtle use of the texture and I love that, great coloring
+ - the muted color and use of the texture as shadows creates a subtle, melancholic atmosphere for the icon
~ watch out on the sharpness, other wise this is very nicely done.
