Reasons:
Lesser Quality
#01 - the crop is really too close, they should of backed it up more.
#02 - Half of the eye was cut off during the cropping which gives emma's face a little bit of an awkward look. However, the black and white coloring is really nice, but there is too much of a white space in the icon and the tiny text is maybe a wee bit too tiny. If a little bit of emma's head was lowered into the icon, then it would be fine.
#04 - A lot of the icon is covered by this texture/color. The cropping underneath looks okay, but much of it is obscured.
#04 - you can hardly recognize anything
#04 - the texture/white space takes up too much space in the icon, and the cropping is odd. the double image also could have been blended better.
#04 - Good coloring, but it would be better without the gray layer.
#04 - the repeated image is pointless; it should have been a lot better if it was only 1 image and maybe if we see more from emma's face on the icon;
#04 - the blending makes the icon more muddled
#04 - an interesting icon but there is so much white space that you barely focus on emma. she gets lost in the white.
#05 - Coloring is a bit dull and drab in that it doesn't compliment or highlight Emma's feature. The black text also looks out of place because it doesn't match the color scheme of the rest of the image.
#05 - the image looks a little blurry and the font doesn't fit with the icon
#05 - the text somehow ruin the icon and the icon is just like the original photo
#05 - the colouring is dull and doesn't make the icon stand out much
#05 - The text looks awkward.
#06 - Bad cropping.
#06 - the idea with the frame and the b/w is pretty good but the crop isn't the best choice
#06 - the border makes the icon look too dark
#06 - the border spoils the icon abit
#06 - the dark frame is too big and seems out of place here
#06 - the crop is weird, her nose is cut off
#06 - the cropping is awkward with half emma's nose being chopped off.
#07 - the aspect ratio wasn't maintained when cropped.
#07 - the icon is oversharpened
#07 - the colouring is a bit dull and the image is distorted and stretched (esp. the face);
#07 - The picture looks weird. Somehow it got distorted. Too much sharpen.
#07 - the aspect ratio is off. she is too squished together.
#07 - the image is all stretched out wrong and it's oversharpened
#07 - the picture is way to sharp, it should be softer
#07 - The aspect ratio is off vertically making Emma look wider than she actually is. The edges of color (especially around her lips, eyes, hair, and fingers) are also very pixelated/oversharpened.
#07 - Emma looks stretched, it's oversharpened. There's this colored border around Emma and it's really weird and distracting, not flattering at all.
#07 - it's really pixelized
#07 - too sharp and overstretched
#07 - emma looks really stretched out and distorted, and her face especially is pixely

#09 - there's not enough contrast and shadowing left...the image looks very flat and lifeless.
#10 - Oversharpened in her hair and face.
#11 - The text seems out of place, and the cropping didn't work well.
#11 - beautiful crop but the text on the side is distracting due to the font which looks sharp instead of blending in with the image.
#13 - The icon is very pixilated and the texture is overpowering. Emma's face is too bright, lacks detail.
#13 - the texture overpowers the icon and washes out her face
#13 - the lighting/texture overpowers the image
#13 - the texture is to strong around emma's face. it makes her face look washed out.
#13 - the textures are overwhelming, making it difficult to tell who the subject is.

#19 - the coloring is to dark and yellowish.

#19 - there is too much yellow in the icon;
