Comments:

#01
- the coloring is too dark; the text is hard to read because of the placement and font choice.
- The coloring is too red and dark, and the text is unreadable and doesn't fit in the icon.
- colroing not as good as the others+ Interesting use of text
+ i love how zoomed out it is, coloring is nice and text really fits. even thought it's covered its easy to see what it says, the style really fits together.
+ I love the pink and teal color scheme. The cropping is interesting and powerful, and the text in the background is eye-catching and a nice touch.
+ nice use of text
#02
- too much contrast, the border doesn't fit.
- too dark and too brassy
+ nice colouring and contrast
#03
+ nice coloring and crop, the texture fits well, it gives it an extra touch.
+ really nice coloring and cropping
+ the center crop works well, and the light texture is a nice touch
+ Nice coloring!
#04
- bad crop, icon need more contrast
- Too greenish
- the icon is too dark and too blurry
- the image is too dark which makes the face fade into the green background instead of being the main focus
- too dark though the crop was nice
- too dark
+ best coloring of the bunch, i love the cropping.
#05
- the icon is dark and this texture makes it look dirty
- the textures distract from the focus of the icon, making it hard to tell who it is
- the pastels of the background don't go well with the colours of the picture
- The effects are really nice, but the cap is a little blurry. And the shadow for the text is a little distracting. I wish that there were only one of the "lovely"s and the other were left out.
- Icon is very dark and the busy background takes away from Jennifer as the focus of the icon. The text is very difficult to make out as well.
- the texture is overpowering for both the image and text.
+ It's dark but the idea is great that's why I choose it as a best choice. Creative!! we can't deny
+ nice texture use and text placement
#06
- Too much saturation and textures
- the coloring and the tiny text don't match together
- the cropping is nice but all the effects are so distracting. also her skin has too much contrast.
- the light texture and brushwork are distracting
- the text looks bad, the font doesn't fit in, and it's kin of pointless, as you can't really read the word. the eyes look like two holes in her face
+ good croping and interesting effect of light and text
+ nice use of tiny text and color
#07
+ nice crop and colouring
+ good facial cropping
+ I love the cropping, and the way her hair is included in and frames the edges of the icon. The rounded corners are cute too.
+ Really cute crop and the colouring is lovely.
+ fantastic coloing and cropping
#08
- The colouring used has made her skin look incredibly patchy with an unnatural sheen, and the close crop simply emphasises that.
- the zoom is too much and the image looks over exposed.
- this looks over contrasty, there's pixelation in her eye as well
- The cropping is very creative but just so close that it's hard to recognize Jennifer Aniston in the icon.
- The cropping is very creative but just so close that it's hard to recognize Jennifer Aniston in the icon.
- too much contrast, and the crop is a bit too in your face
+ the icon looks truely amazing! great crop and coloring, the icon looks so shiny!
+ Interesting cropp
+ nice bright coloring and the crop is great.
+ beautiful crop & colouring
+ Nice coloring, but the cropping is maybe a little bit too close.
+ great cropping though a bit brassy
+ nice cropping
#09
+ nice crop and the light effect looks very good, the coloring brings out the eyes
+ the crop is ggood, and the light texture is a nice touch
+ soft but striking colouring
+ nice colouring and very interesting idea with the loght/whitish bulb on the right. Very subtle yet catching effect.
#10
- pale colouring, bad texture use
- the texture on the left looks strange, the coloring is awkward, this metallic effect looks bad on Jenn's skin
- The coloring is kinda dull and could use more red and yellow. The texture also seems so out of place, and doesn't fit in.
- the border (?) doesn't add anything interesting to the icon - it doesn't look like a part of it.
- oversharpened icon
+ Really nice crop and bright colors
+ good use of texture + a nice and simple coloring
+ Beautiful colouring, cute crop and the texture at the side adds a nice extra touch without being distracting.
+ nice subtle coloring, her eyes really pop!

New round will be asap!

Comments:

#01
- Nice composition but the lightening effects ruin everything
- light texture is distracting, too much going on
- the icon is very busy and over sharpened, the light effects are making the icon a bit distorted.
- The duplicating doesn't really work and only makes the icon too busy.
+ Good coloring and blending.
+ great coloring and the double image looks great.
#02
+ wonderful coloring, really pops
+ best coloring of the bunch, i love the cropping.
#03
- the texture makes the icon look pale
- the coloring is odd, Jennifer looks purple.
+ Nice colors
+ good use of color and texture
#04
- the faded coloring is making the icon look a little mute and I wish there was a bit less zoom on the cropping.
+ Very pretty coloring and the use of textures really works:D#05
#5
+ good cropping - everything's in the icon, and the coloring looks really good, it brings out the colors of the main object
+ great coloring
#6
- The text being in 2 colors is somewhat distracting & does not complement the background at all.
I also find the 2 sparkles around the text very amateurish. Jen looks frugal & sexy at the same time. Sparkles are therefor not appropriate in my opinion.
To top it all off, the bottom of the icon looks soft which contrasts with the sharpeness of the top with the very bright blue. It just missed the mark, sorry.
- poor font choice, it's too bold for the icon, it takes away from the focus of the image.
- wonderful text... but there is too much contrast going on and her nose disappears because of it
- the font is really jarring and doesn't fit well with the composition of the icon. The coloring of the text clashes with her coloring.
+ I relly like the coloring and the text colors
+ nice coloring and use of text
#07
- a little bit to sharpenned
+ Even if coloring is a bit boring, the cropping is really interesting
+ Great crop, beautiful richness to skin
+ unique cropping, really emphasizes the beautiful neck while still having some features on the icon. nice color too.
+ Great cropping, and the tinytext fits well:)
#8
- The icon is too green, and the textures are a bit overpowering.
- Coloring is unnatural and the crop is poor.
+ I simply love the texture used, it goes well with the rock behind Jen.
The crop is very original. It focuses on the neck which I have rarely seen & it paid off.
The brushes also distinguish it from everyone elses because it's more that just a color effect.
+ nice lights effects
+ great coloring and crop, everything fits well together.
#9
+ the text that was added made the icon stand out even more. The coloring also completes the icon by complementing the natural background surounding jenn.
#10
- Lack of color
#11
- No color, no crop
- the icon is too dark and oversharpened
- too dark
- The coloring makes Jenn look gray and sick. It doesn't look natural.
- Colors are too dull you cannot see any effort for the composition
+ Great coloring. Good crop.

New round will be asap!
