Oh this is a fantastic post! Love both of your sets, and how varied they are in style.

My favorites from your fs20in20 set are:

* The Hero: love the crop and the texture use, which creates a lovely glowy lighting without overpowering him at all. The sharpness looks great to me too, and the coloring is lovely as well.
* Ejection seat: This one is really intense and I already took it to use :) might of course come back for more, but this one stood out to be me immediately. I love the glowiness again and the coloring looks gorgeous to me, I actually really dig the purple shadows. This one too is beautifully sharpened, with nice crispness and clarity. The crop is amazing too.
* Mauve shirt: wonderful texture on the background and it fits him too as the red shapes match the red decorations on his jacket. The coloring is delightfully vibrant, like visual candy!
* Loveable Rogue: Gorgeous composition and coloring. This one has a perfect brightness and contrast imo, it's strong enough to be clear but also subtle enough to keep the image quality great.
* A glitch in the matrix: Really superb crop with an interesting cintrast and a lovely grunginess! Also, HARVEY ♥

You did a wonderful job with our challenge too, I love how many ways you used the text. AND OMG YOU HAVE 2 MASTERS THERE AND ALSO SOME JOHN/SCORPY. Anyway, from just a visual point of view my favorites would be:

* War is Peace: Looooooove the shadows and the text, its placement is perfect. Also the muted dark coloring is really gorgeous. I really adore this icon!
* Stay Together: this one has a beautiful, distinctive coloring - it has a slightly vintagey quality to it which i really dig, as well as the soft contrast - and I love how smooth the image looks, perfectly fitting the romantic feel you were going for.
* Letterbomb: Omg his face. Too cute for words. Love the coloring and the big bold font. I think the lyrics fit the icon nicely as he kind of look like he's thinking 'I'm so above everyone else, don't bother me with this stupidity, it's hardly my burden, I just don't care' :D really like this contrast and clarity here, the simplicity is what makes it effective.
* One and only: Love the brightness of the icon, it has a wonderfully happy overall feel and the text works great, especially its placement above the levels line. I also love the lighting on the upper left!
* Breakin' Up AAAAWWWW. They're not breaking up though. More like... about to kiss and make up, lol. IN MY HEAD AT LEAST. Anyway love the story this icon tells, with the levels and text and all, it's like forbidden love ♥ Love the subdued coloring of this and major respect for that anyway cause I've iconned this scene so many times and let me tell you IT'S ALWAYS SOOOO DARK AND BLUE AND DIFFICULT TO USE :O still can't stay away from it cause it is the best scene of anything ever. Well second best actually as they share one even slashier later on, but no spoilers :)

Then again all of these have something great about them, as I also really dig the coloring and lighting in Official couple, the deep shadows and the glow in fire forged friends, the crop and lighting in Get a hold of yourself, the soft contrast and texture use in Place beyond time, the negative space and the background in Hell bent for leather, the coloring in Backstabber, the crop and contrast in The Darkest Star, the crop and coloring in Restless heart syndrome, the levels and the whole concept of Impressed and the coloring and crop in Gravity.

Great post, can't wait to see more!! ^^
