Voting Off:
WORST (-2 points): #07 - The contrast is overpowing. The font choice is also lacking, a softer font would've emphasized mood.
SECOND-WORST (-1 points): #06 - Contrast is much too high. Icon appears oversharpened.

Favorites:
FAVORITE (+2 points): #10 - Beautiful Crop + Colour!
SECOND-FAVORITE (+1 points): #04 - Simple colouring, but clear - reminds me of Breaking Dawn Bella!

Voting Off:
WORST (-2 points): #08 - The icon is too overloaded which makes it difficult to find a focus.
SECOND-WORST (-1 points): #10 - The icon is too bright. Bella's skin has almost the same colouring like the background. A little more contrast would have been better.

Favorites:
FAVORITE (+2 points): #11 - I like the texture with those swirls and together with the crfopped picture it makes a great "team work" :-)
SECOND-FAVORITE (+1 points): #03 - I'm a big fan of the beige colouring and the text totally matches to the picture.

I just had to say, I actually laughed aloud when I saw your icon. He's such a fox!

WORST (-2 points): #08 - There's too much going on in this icon. The center, black and white part is nice, but the pink duplications in the background are distracting and unnecessary.
SECOND-WORST (-1 points): #07 - Coloring is a bit too dark, and there are too many letters/words. There doesn't seem to be a focal point - my eyes don't know where to go first.

Favorites:
FAVORITE (+2 points): #06 - Coloring and texture use looks nice.
SECOND-FAVORITE (+1 points): #05 - Good crop and contrasting.

WORST (-2 points): #08 - there's far too much going on in this icon...the eye doesn't know where to focus first.
SECOND-WORST (-1 points): #07 - with all the text as part of the background, the character's name in such a plain font adds nothing to the icon. the colouring is a bit dark as well.

Favorites:
FAVORITE (+2 points): #09 - lovely colouring and overall composition.
SECOND-FAVORITE (+1 points): #10 - nice crop and colouring.

Voting Off:
WORST (-2 points): 8 - The icon is really original and creative, but there is also a lot of stuff in it, so that is appears confused and not focused on the subject
SECOND-WORST (-1 points): 3 - good colouring, but the cropping left the subject almost out of the icon
Favorites:
FAVORITE (+2 points): 11 - Original icon, the light fits well, and the colouring enhanced the subject
SECOND-FAVORITE (+1 points): 12 - the crop is really good and the colouring too
