Skipping: double_dutchess, crazycordy, & dixon.

Eliminated due to no entry and no skips: jane948

Rules:
- Vote for 2 icons of the least quality. Reasons such as 'I don't like' or 'It's too plain' are not allowed. Actually think about why you are voting out the icon. If the icon is too plain, why is that bad thing? What could have been done to improve the icon?
- Also vote for 1 icon that you feel is the best quality. The reason for this one is optional but encouraged.
- Keep your icon identity hidden until after the results are posted. Do not vote for yourself or get anyone to vote for you.
- You do not have to be a participant to vote (the more the merrier!).
- Positive votes do not take away from the amount of negative votes. This will change in the event of a tie.
- One person will be eliminated as the result of the voting.
- The comments are screened.
- If you entered and do not vote then you will not be eligible for Community's Choice or Mod's Choice.
- Voting will be open until Monday at around 11 PM ET.




Examples:

Least favorite:
12. The texture really takes away from the focus of the icon and throws off the balance.
120. The image is very sharp in spots including Buffy's hair line & facial features. It could have looked better with either some contrast or using a blur tool.

Favorite:
04. Beautifully cropped.
166. The coloring really makes the icon stand out from the others.

2 least quality icons:
6 - I know the focus of this challenge isn't the coloring but I feel that aside from brightening and contrasting it a bit, this icon hasn't been played with much. There's so much potential in that. And the text totally fits the scene, obviously, but I would have chosen a different font instead of this one. Maybe even 2 to make the words have more of an impact.

4 - The black on top takes away from Buffy. I think the same text on top, maybe a bit smaller, would have worked so much better here. I really like it though, it's also funny.

1 best quality icon
5 - the cropping, the coloring, the text and font choice makes this very very fitting and beautiful.


Man, this was so hard. Especially when it came to choosing for the best icon in my opinion.
