Ugh good job failing with the size, self. Ah well, I'll be back next round! :)

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

Well I looked through the comments and nobody said anything about the size. I am not sure if it was a factor or not. Did you want your comments?

I am sorry you are out already. I hope you will stick around for the comeback challenge. :)

Well, even though it wasn't a factor it still bugs me, since it was so clumsy. :P Hmm, I didn't at first, but I suppose it could always help me improve. :)

Ooh, comeback challenge, I'd forgotten about that! Hopefully I'll manage to do something for that. :)

Btw, can you vote even though you've been eliminated?

Alrighty! Here they are:
2 - For me, slightly too dark to see the image
#2 - the darkness that the black and white coloring is overwhelming and takes away from the icon.
2 - background not completely removed before placing subject on blackdrop, awkward pieces of original image around her head. The contrast is a little dark. However, I do like the crop.
#2 - This icon is very dark, over contrasted, and oversharpened. The image quality looks degraded because of the darkness, and it comes off as sort of grainy.
2 - It's not contrasted enough making Buffy blend into the background too much.

Yes, don't forget about the comeback challenge! Of course you can still vote. I hope you'll stick around to do so. :)
