- interesting coloring and clarity
- the yellowish coloring is too unnatural
- [the yellowy-purple coloring drowns sheppard and mckay into the background]
- beautiful soft coloring on this icon; it creates a very appropriate "atmosphere" for the icon. Lovely use of texture in the background as well.
- [green is a little oversaturated]
- very odd coloring - the moon and sea and some of the the guys look electric green, which does not fit the actual location of the place in the icon.
- Beautiful coloring and effects! WONDERFUL composition!! ♥♥
- Amazing colouring; very atomspheric and moody. The crop is nicely balanced.
- [Dramatic coloring.]
- pixellation issues; dull, overly mixed colouring (I think it's too much to have greens, purples, and dark blacks in the sky).

Wow, really? Does that include all the previous rounds?

- great use of texture and decoration as well as color
- the multiple textures on this image create a distracting tableau such that the icon doesn't focus on one particular image but rather, the eye darts from the text to the orangish sun to Teyla; moreover, the textures aren't blended well -- the orange "sun" stands out abruptly against the underlying base texture.
- [coloring is creative and the texture is well placed]
- The closer crop gives it an unpleasant grainy quality and the light brush/texture is too big, taking over the center of attention in the icon.
- the first one that caught my eye in this batch. love the way the gold texture makes it stand out
- I like how your texture work and the cropping of Teyla is so unusual; maybe the icon is a little oversharpened, but that's my only concern.

- Gorgeous coloring and texture use.
- lovely composition to this icon with the city in the lower half, the touch of color in the top right to balance the darkness of the water and the simple but effective use of text to emphasize the suggestion of the city moving upwards.
- beautiful coloring! the text and placement is a perfect addition.

- The saturation of the trees (the deep greens) makes the background coloring at odds with Teyla's reds and golds and purples, who looks kind of pasted in as a result.
- amazing clarity and gorgeous coloring
- [the simple coloring and simple cropping makes the icon stand out to me, especially the little stripe of red on teyla's coat]
- the greens in the icon are oversatured to the point where the image looks oversharpened; also, because of the focus on the greens, the image of Teyla is nearly lost in the icon.
- [I like the simplicity of the icon and the coloring stands out]
- looks like it's been sharpened too much
- I really loved the simple crop and the beautiful coloring is just perfect.
