I haven't made a banner for a month or so, and I followed a tutorial.

Can't believe I didn't see your photography before! :O
Critiquing time!

First picture
Interesting picture, however, the focus, for me, is out. The right hand side of the twig is out of focus. With a bit of manual focus, you could have made that more focused and look like the center of attention.

Second picture
I can't really fault this picture. I do love it. I guess the only thing I could really say to you to improve on, is it is a little grainy. If you reduced your ISO to about 200-300, then you would have been able to make it crisper.

Third picture
Much like the first picture, it is a little out of focus and I am not sure what is suppose to be the main focus of the picture :/

Nice pictures, I would like to see some more photography from you. Maybe get to know your camera a little more? That would help you get those manual settings better.

The photograph of the flower is breathtaking - I too love the effect of the light filtering through the petals. Stunning!

I am also loving that you have a Percy Jackson banner. Logan Lerman, oh my. xD

New Icon:
Pretty sexy considering it went from nearly black and white. There are a few irks though. First of all, the lighting, in my opinion is too overpowering. The light source there definitely works, but tone it down a few notches. Also, the bottom left corner seemed to stay in black and white? It just looks weird because the hand is split into half black and white, half colour. Don't know what happened there, but it looks weird. xP

Anyways, fantastic icon and colours especially coming from the original stock.

YAY, THANKS MOMENTS <3

Well, thanks, it looked really weird when I made it, so I added another layer over it. I'll delete it. =x Hmm ... The left corner thing was weird. o..O The stock look B/W colors, but when I changed it a little, the hand always seemed to have a bit of black and white ... That's weird... -..-;

Thanks anyway for the comment!

Great icons, Ana! I love your colorization, and your effects are pretty good too.

The first three are definitely my favorites. Especially the effects used in the icons on the ends fit perfectly. :o The red glow by "Kid" on the Kid Cudi icon kind of takes away the focus on him, but only slightly.



Something bothers me about this icon however. Their faces are not as noticeable as it should be, imo. I know sharpening won't do any good, because I've tried to do so with an icon I made myself that came out with results similar to this one, though I'm not entirely sure. Otherwise, the coloring is pretty good. :)

Keep up the good work!

I really adore your work Ana, I always have. <3
Your Pokemon tags are absolutely delicious. The flow, the text, the colors, the balance with sharpening, lighting and everything. It's all amazing to me.

I won't crit cause I'm lazy right now, but I think I'm just a bit more blown away by your tags than your icons. xD;



Awww, you silly gurl. <3 I love it! Very shiny Taaja-rific. :3

This one. While the colours are not perfect for an icon, the fact that the canvas is not just, position an image and colour adjustments makes it really stand out. The angled main canvas, and the 2 smaller ones is a really nice effect, and mixing up icons is difficult, but I believe you did it wonderfully here.

Try more unique icons like that and if you can use some of those techniques in all the icons you do, you will be seriously like the best. Try borders, and obscure focal placement and stuff like that.

@Kaori - Thanks <3 Yeah, I was kinda upset about it. I really tried to make a cool, coloring experiment, and it was either too dark, I couldn't see something, it was too bright. XD So, yeah, I can see that you're not really able to see the face that much. Thanks pointing it out, I'll watch for faces like that. XD

@Nameless. - Thanks! =D I HOPE YOU LIKED THAT ICON! I'll also get that banner for you, since I REALLY needed to work on my banners skills~

@Twilight Sky - Really? What was it? I'm just curious now. xD Also, thanks, I liked that one as well. ^..^

@moments. - YO. Thanks! I was following a tutorial about coloring, and it looked boring, so I experiment with textures and resizing the main icon. ^..^;
Thanks, I'll totally keep that in mind. =] Obviously, I'm gonna go an experiment more with borders, angles, and placements. XD I thought that icon wouldn't really be liked, but I was wrong. ^..^;;

Anyway, thanks everyone for lovely crits and comments! I shall go make some more work now.~
