Worst Quality:
20 - Image in box slightly blurry, icon a bit too plain. Boxes seem to be placed there simply because that was the challenge, little creativity was put into it.
06 - Boxed image doesn't stand out enough from the background image and seems ill placed.
01 - Entire icon over sharpened.

Personal Favorite:

Worst Quality:

6 - The image, both in and outside of the little box, is difficult to make out. The shading makes the icon less clear.
1 - It's oversharpened, both the image and the tiny text. The sharpness is jarring and detracts from the overall impact of the icon.
20 - I'm not sure what to think about the coloring - it seems to be in a liminal state between aged and not. This needs to be resolved for greater impact. Also, the borders distract from the image (which needs to be clearer itself).

Personal Favorite:
4 - Lovely. The soft coloring is wonderful, and the crop is excellent.
17 - Talk about text and image suiting each other! Well done!

First: #16 - very simple and aesthetically pleasing. The flower brush fits perfectly into the overall icon. Great job!
Second: #12 - stunning colors and very nicely layed out. I love the use of the green light texture.

Worst Quality:
10 - This didn't really have a box in it so it didn't seem to fit the category.
09 - It took a while to figure out what the picture was. It seemed too faded and in the background.
20 - There needed to be just a little something more to make it really pop. Maybe a touch of sharpening or a small ammount of text.

Personal Favorite:
19 - It made me laugh and that's always something I love.
17 - It has excellent color coordination and composition. Plus it reminded me of that Robert Frost poem "The Road Less Traveled."

Eliminate:
1,8 = Unable to tell what I'm looking at. I think #1 might be a light??
20 = Looks unfinished, like it needs more.

Keep:
19 = Made me lol right away. The nonsquare box fit well with the premise.
11 = No idea who Charity Shea is, but the icon is great. Clean lines, simple color, nice font.
