2 least quality icons: 6 - I don't think the texture is doing the icon any favours; the icon looks a bit washed out with the opacity of the texture so low. With such pale colouring in the original cap, I'd be careful with the texture I choose and the overall colouring of the icon. 1 - The composition is very nice, but the lighting and shadowing seems to be on the wrong sides of Buffy's head. The cut is also very sharp which is also distracting from the lovely composition/colours. I'd suggest using a soft brush on a low opacity on the edges of your cut, or even refining the mask (if you use masks) to smoothen those edges and make it look a little more natural.
