01
02 - I love the textured canvas effect you've used, and her name is prominent without being obtrusive. Great work!
03 - different look and feel from the others - matte look

10 - coloring is great and love the texture and the tiny text
11 - I love the subtlety of this icon, text and placement works very well here.
11 - I like how she cut off the face, yet you can still tell who it is with the text.
15 - adore the blue hue accented on her eyes, great quote/lyric chosen to coordinate with the crop used, shadowing a bit harsh though overall; makes for negative space
3rd Place votes - worth 1 vote
01 - good crop and the coloring is beautiful
05 - good b/w look with purple lip accent
06 - nice texture used to distract from that odd space that was in the original image, like the sharpening of tori- makes her pop for the icon.
06- The rough textures/brushes adds a cool effect.
08 - Great coloring! Good crop. Simple but pretty.
08 - this one really stands out among the others.
09 - I love the way the framing highlights her face and turns it into the perfect subject for the flavor text.
09 - I love the brush used on this picture.
09 - awesome masking.
10 - nice and simple, nothing is overpowering and the attention goes right to Tori, excellent composition.
11

02 - The crop here really brings the focus to Tori's eyes which are amazing in this image, very different from the rest of the icons, this one really stands out.
02 - getting her eye and a touch of those lips - that's just sexy
02 - usually I don't like cut eyes, but this cut is really good. Tori's eye is decentered but attracts the look on it and the lips "hint" helps tha image appear more varied and light. Good work IMHO.
02 - gorgeous coloring and love the text and the position of it and the crop
02
08- The crop looks interesting & unique.
09 - The crop definately adds new life to the picture! You can't tell it came from that picture at all.
09 - like the crop effect even though the text added isn't very visable
10 - funky cropping with the texture without distorting the actual picture.
11 - This was a hard crop to work with - I tried it and ditched it! - and I admire how well you executed the crop, it feels intentional and well executed.
11 - I think the crop was very unique in the way that it ignored tori's face and focused more on her body. I like how it came out. Great job.
12 - great centering on her face captures that evil-esque look she has in the image. the honey takes away from the icon in its size with the orange/tan box around it though, get the idea you were going for but perhaps with it translucent it would have worked better.
12 - focus on her funny lip shape is cool.
13 - Focuses on Tori without any one part being overwhelming. Looks balanced but interesting.
