Apricus: This one is very simple, I can see you boosted the contrast and colors and did a few filter effects, but the majority of this wallpaper is really empty. The background is interesting enough not to be plain, but not distracting, but it's more toward the plain side, try dressing it up a little with more prominent brushwork.

InsanePlushie: I like the grungy wild look of this wallpaper, it sort of reminds me of dramatic studio illustrations. Overall, a nice artistic look, but it's really just a bunch of filters and a color overlay, try some more effects to add interest.

Jasujo: This one is actually quite cute, even if it's rather plain. The heart shapes are a little messy, it might be better to use a preset heart shape instead of drawing it yourself, as I'm guessing you did. As for the pictures, the one on the bottom left side irks me a bit because of the dark pink lines running across the edges, it would look much cleaner if you airbrushed them out. The background is very plain, the canvas texture is hardly noticeable at all, and it's so uniform that it hardly fills space.

_jaye_: I recognized this wallpaper on sight, and I am not very pleased. (

LAQ: This is very pretty and bright, but you really depended too heavily on the original images. From what I can see, you adjusted the levels of the first picture, then extended the background to the canvas size, and then added the sparkles from the other picture over it. It's a pretty overall effect, but overall, mostly someone else's work.

mazil: I like this one quite a bit, despite it's simplicity, it really has a nice serene look. It's nice to see that you did some of your own work and accented it with the stock photos. Still, the stock photos are much more prominent than what you did.

Neko: This wallpaper is very very similar to the original picture, a nice job imitating it. The reflections in the water are a little unnatural looking, probably because you had so very little to copy. You did a pretty nice job filling up the space, but the floating lanterns are sort of off looking because the extraction is a bit sloppy.

Scholastic: I like the dark gothic look of this wallpaper, but it's all rather plain looking, despite all the effects you added to it. I think it has to do with all the brushwork, it's not very eyecatching at all. The background is a little plain too. Overall, this looks a bit boring, perhaps you should have tried some color.

timkhj: I've said in previous rounds, and I will repeat again, it is unprofessional and impolite to use fanmade wallpapers as source images, particularly in this case because one of them employs fanart. Screenshots don't make great source images for wallpapers either, since they're usually very low resolution, and it can be seen in this wallpaper. Overall, I think you had an interesting idea here, but it all looks a bit sloppy because of the blurry screenshot in the background.
6/10
I vote out _jaye_, LAQ, Scholastic, and timkhj.
