 ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 1 ) @tropicolds :
 
 
 • Things I like:
-Placements, colouring. This is a very nice texture-based cover.
+The colour palette and the simplicity. There's not much to say about this cover,
-I like how you chose a plain background and used a few brushes to bring the model in the centre of attention.
+it's simple but charming at the same time.
-I love the effects used for title, and the purple-orange contrast makes the cover less ordinary.
+
 
 • Things I dislike:
 Text, the model's face, the white shadow.
-The watermark, some effects. The signature is in a totally different font and it draws attention unnecessarily.
+The subtitle is at the top, but the title at the bottom, it makes it harder to read, thus not giving the desired effect.
-I also don't like the association of lens flare and grunge texture, they are opposites for me.
+The face of the model is not well blended, especially at the forehead. Also, the white shadow around is a little awkward.
 
 
 • For improvement:
- change the font of your watermark, and might look better if you remove the grunge texture.
+Switch the places of subtitle and the author's name,
 remove the shadow and use more shades to paint the face.
 
-• Score: 9/10
+
-Reason: -0.5 font, -0.5 texture
+• Score: 8.5/10
 Reason: -0.5 for text, face and shadow separately

 ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 2 ) @impassively :
 
-This is stunning. The textures are beautifully used and the effect you did with two halves is nice.
+
-The light flare is beautiful and really caught my eye.
+
-The left eye is so beautiful, the way you brought out the *shine* (see what i did there).
+I like the colors, the font, and the simplicity.
-The colors and the psd are really good together.
+
 
 • Things I dislike:
 I don't like how you put the subtitle at the top, because the flow is a bit messed up that way-
-The red in the text while beautiful in the title, is a bit hard to read the author.
+you want the title to be read before the subtitle.
-The right eye looks blurrier than the left, but it could be due to the grid texture over it.
+There's a really small white line around the model you can see with the flowers on the right.
-The watermark is a little too visible.
+The positioning of the watermark is awkward.
 The vector doesn't look very good, either, the shadowing didn't work at all.
 
 
-Maybe change the author so it's just all white, or make the red brighter.
+
-If the watermark is bolded, unbold it or lower the opacity of it.
+I'd recommend moving the "story by" and the watermark to the top where the subtitle is,
 and move the subtitle to the bottom. Maybe hard-erase or defringe the tiny line around her on the right.
 The vector part- her face- I can see you used a hard brush on what should be the highlight of her face.
-• Score: 9.5/10
+But you should use soft erasers for highlights/shadows. For a really cool look, maybe make the title engraved
-Reason: deduction for text
+into the ribbon (it just requires a lot of experimentation with the layer style).
 
 
 • Score: 7/10
 Reason: deduction for vector and text
