Before judging this round i have to give you all my sincerest apologies for delaying the juding again! i'm sooooo sorry! i truely am!
I know it's only excuses, but i didnt have access to the internet all weekend and so couldnt come on here and judge. i have come on and done it as soon as i have had a chance tho.
autumnelf, feel free to ask me to step down as a judge if you feel that i'm not doing it properly.
Also, before i start, I have to say, the entries in this round really are outstanding and soo much better than anything i could have hoped for!
~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, onto judging
Kitten Medli
I really like yours medli, i disagree with everyone else, i like the word dancing for some reason, although i love the other suggestions for improvements made by the other judges.
Dawn2
This is just right. its simple, it fits the image, and i would kinda hopefully like to think it fits me too.
Twinkle
I dont like the two small beauties for some reason. i know you're describing the flowers, but it doesnt seem right. i do like the length and fading however, and especially the second half, but if i were to use it i'd change the beginning
Robert2100
I like the idea that i'm quite, hehe (sorry i like to think that the subtexts are describing me and the image) This is also a perfect length.
.:Requiem:.
Again requiem, i dont understand the subtext or what you're tryin to say, sorry
Kugetsu
kugetsu, this is simple, just the right length, and even though it doesnt in any way describe me (which i've liked about some of the others), i still really like it.
DM was on fire!
DM, its really bootyful, but i have to agree with everyone else, it is a bit long, 4 fades is too much
indidually they would all make great subtexts tho, i dont really know why you used them all, you could have just picked one
Ammer
i'm not really sure what to say about this ammer, sorry. it fits the image and describes the flowers well, but doesnt include the island, or possibly describe me in anyway
Amarise
I really like this one amarise, it's really pretty and could possibly describe the image or me (once again, it's not necessarily true, but it could be)
JellyFish72
I dont really get the association between all the words, it just seems like you have chosen a few words that describe the image and shoved them together. IMO, just having "...paradise" would be better.
Hellyer
I can see where you're coming from, but even though the subtext is perfectly appropriate it's just not jumping out at me, sorry.
Ziggy
Sorry ziggy, i dont really like this one. i dont really get why you've included the fauna... there is no fauna in the image. if it was an image of a flower or an island with a dolphin in it or something then it wuld make sence, but it doesnt...
o_0
I like the fact you've come up with an original idea and attempted different, in my book you get extra marks for being daring rather than going with something easy. i wouldnt use it, but it really like your originality!
Watericesage
I like this, it encompasses the feel of the set, it is a little long and fading could be added. or possibly put onto two staggered lines on the set. i really like it though.
~~~~~~~~~~
Some notes on my comments:
I know i've commented on the subtexts describing me, but they dont necessarily have to be true. you wouldnt have to know me to come up with a subtext, just choosing some kind of personality aspect i might possibly have and then writing a subtext relating to it would recieve good marks in my book.
And about relating it to my name, IMO, there's 3 parts to the sig: the island image, the flowers and the name, i think that a good subtext should encompass 2 of those three things (which i think is fair).
~~~~~~~~~~
My choices:
Sorry, but my choices for elimination this round are:
.:Requiem:.
Jellyfish72
Ziggy
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lastly, i would like to ask the respective authors permissions to possibly use once of the following subtexts for this sig if i make it into a set (i dont know which yet): (i will of course credit you if i do)
Kugetsu: A little slice of paradise.
DM was on fire!: Dream about a paradise far away
Amarise: Beauty in serenity
Watericesage: A Tropical Paradise, untouched by the seasons...

Crud. I can't think of one. You have truly stumped me.
There's a war brewing...

What side are you on?

I know that was crappy but I can't think of anything else.

I pwn you all.
I'll probably change it, but I just want to use this so bad for some reason.
