-003: (It's a little bit grainy. It's a great icon overall, but the others are just a bit more creative.) -03: The straight-on crop isn't very interesting and the icon appears slightly oversharpened +003: Wonderful crop, clear colours, perfectly sharp +3: Gorgeous work! Love the play of light across Daniel's face. I like the double interpretation of the theme; it's light and it's about light. Image quality is good and coloring is appealing.
Dark:
+01: creative crop and good contrasting on his face +1: The crop is visually appealing and meets the theme. The b/w work is excellent and lends itself to the moody feel of the icon. The image quality is not quite sharp enough for the extreme close-up crop, which traditionally works best with an image that is crisp, high quality rather than soft focus. This icon does a good job of hewing to the darkness theme.
-001: Two Daniels are usually better than one Daniel *g*, but here one Daniel would have been more equilibrated (reason) +01: The coloring is great and the duplicate image very creative. +1: lovely coloring
Dark:
-02: I like the crop, but the text is difficult to read -2: hard to read text +002: He looks really dark, dangerous and mysterious. I like the blood red writing very much. +002: (Dark text for a dark icon. :) Nice crop and placement of the main image.)
(And sorry about the delay! Thanks for the PM to remind me. *sigh* I am being such a bad mod these past few weeks)
No problems. I can't tell you the number of times I go to post the vote for a week and think to check in on comments only to find that some of the stragglers haven't yet received their comments. There's so much to remember in running a LIMS; I have no idea how people do it alone.
As I feared, that text on the dark came out too dark. I have a relatively new LCD monitor and I think I have brighter and more contrasty images than others. I was fighting with myself over that and I see that I chose unwisely. ;)
-2: The icon isn't particularly light when Daniel is in the shadow. Additionally, the coloring is harsh; Daniel's face is red while the shadows are a greenish-cyan. -2: doesn't really have any coloring done to it +002: (The crop is great. I love how you didn't cover up the background. Daniel's face could have maybe been a bit brighter, but overall, it looks nice.)
Dark:
-003: The "triangle" in the background looks a bit strange -003: (A little too blurry. The background is very distracting. ) -3: I like the crop but leaving parts of a very busy background in the final product was an unfortunate choice. The retained background details distract the eye from the subject of the icon without forming a coherent background pattern or setting for the character . +3: nice coloring
