And the winners for Challenge Two are:

I loved this icon from the first time I saw it.
The colouring's crisp, clear and bright, and the cropping is excellent.
The colour of the text is perfect aswell, as it perfectly contrasts.

This was also another icon that really caught my eye.
I would normally only choose one Judges Choice Icon, but I felt I couldn't not mention it.
The colouring is so complimentary, and doesn't take away from the details of the picture.
Also, the placement of the text, is perfect.
And the text is suitably fitting.
This was also a favourite of my mothers.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE.

Challenge Three will be posted soon.
