comments #3 please

3 - The edges and Buffy's face look a bit sharp.
3. This icon is missing a bit on contrast between Buffy and the background, which made me actually skip over this amongst all the other icons. Adding lighting/constrast would make the subject pop more and could improve on this icon a lot.

Comment for #7? :)

7 - uneven cut around Dawn's hair and shoulder; texture could have been used better. Great uniform colouring though.

Negative:
05 - The text is distracting, not just because it covers a big part of the picture, but also because its color is different than the colors of the picture. (A more brown/yellow text would look better.)
# 5- text is difficult to read and so much of it overwhelms the icon a little bit

Positive:
5 - really cute and adorable; plus great use of text and crop

#6 - nice lighting and crop, the purple is subtle and vibrant without overwhelming the icon
# 6- Nice coloring.
