Heh, though I'm sure they're all going to say 'TOO DARK,' I'll take my comments, unscreened is fine, thanks.

Sorry to see you go! Thanks for participating!

- the cropping is basic and the coloring is artifically orange without an underlying reason/theme for it.
- The icon is way to dark, and shep's face is to red.
- The icon is overall just a bit too dark, especially the red tones in John's face look unnatural.
- The crop could be more interesting, and John's skin tone is too red and a bit dark. He looks sun burnt.
- The coloring of the icon is very dark. There is nothing interesting to make the icon stand out.
- John's skin color doesn't look right - it looks like he has a bad sunburn. And it's rather dark.
- the saturation and color red is a little over the top, it could be toned down or eliminated.
- John looks kind of unhealthy - as if he's having fever ;) The coloring is off, or maybe the icon's just oversaturated.

Thanks! What's interesting to me is, yes, it's definitely dark, but there's also the Mac gamma vs. PC gamma--Macs save the .png a lot lighter than what shows up on a Windows machine, so I wonder if what I was seeing is vastly different than what everyone else was seeing! In any case, it was fun (and school starts next week, so um... relief? heh), and freneticfloetry, that Rodney icon is simply gorgeous!

Just dropped in to confuse you as I am not even participating!

I have a light/dark problem too. I found when I got a new monitor it got worse but then I calibrated my monitor and it helped some but not entirely. Difficult to know if you are seeing something different but I sometimes compare to our laptop.

- Great blending.
- Colours! They're dark yet warm, perfectly describing Ronon's character. The icon is nice and sharp too, but not over-sharpened.
- the colouring is amazing. looks like ronon is in some fog with strobe lights shining through. a very beautiful icon as a whole
- I love Dex's ethereal glow. He looks so mystical and awesome...like he's more than SGA will let him become! *sob*
- Really cool background effect! The coloring is really vibrant and beautiful too!
- Beautiful coloring and clarity, especially considering the difficulty of this cap. I love the lighting, and the spot light effect.
- fantastic use of colouring and light effects; the lights lead right to Ronon looking awesome.

- Love the coloring and texture, it fits beautifully with the image.
- the textures on top of john are distracting. it makes him look discoloured, and it doesn't look right
- pretty coloring/texture use

- The composition of the icon is fun. The colors all work well together.
- Interesting and unique, with good coloring and a nice mix of softness and sharpness.
- Love the composition and the jolt of red.
