- 19: The icon is compositionally too busy, there's nowhere for the eye to rest as the background texture with the swirl and sparkles competes too much for attention. Also, the colouring, contrast, and brightness on Cam needs to be played with in order to make him pop more.
+ 19: Creative use of font and background, and both really suit image.
+ 19: (I'm really impressed this icon works. I love the background and the font color/style is very complimentary to both the background and the image of Cam. Good coloring, too. )

+ 12: Hee, I think this is *adorable*. The shade of red in the background is nice and not overwhelming like a lot of holiday icons can be. The text is well matched to Vala's expression, and both the placement and the font add to the icon's charm ( ... )

- 3: (While I'm impressed you managed to shrink this image so small while still keeping the content comprehensible, I don't really think it makes a good icon. There's no real 'tone' and you can't tell what exactly is going on or why. It calls out for text or something.)
- 3: nothing truly wrong with it, but nothing stands out about it either.
- 3: (Lacks creativity in cropping and coloring.)
+ 3:Nice composition and lovely, soft coloring.
+ 3: The crop and coloring are fantastic - subtle and yet vibrant, and most of all crystal clear.

- 40: General composition of the icon could use work; it feels disproportionate, heavy and lopsided. It could also stand to be sharpened a bit.
- 40: (uhm - I don't get it? It just seems kind of all over the map? The main part of the icon - Vala - is beautifully colored but then the texture and smaller tv-like version took away from what was so well done)
