A Poll For My Readers

  • Jun. 25th, 2007 at 8:44 PM
Balancing Act
If you've been following Thorn Tree In the Garden, you know I've been experimenting with using LJ icons to represent the characters and/or situations taking place in the posts.

One character I've been stuck on an icon for is Catherine, my angel, who figures prominently in the story, especially in the upcoming chapter. I've been looking through pictures, a lot of them, and none have really satisfied me.

I've finally come up with ten I like--Stef helped me find a couple, and the rest I found on my own. I'd like to narrow it down further, but if it was left up to me I'd dither about it for days.

This is where you come in. Behind the cut is a poll featuring the ten images, and buttons for rating each one on a 5-point scale. Please help me out by completing the poll; the winner (or winners, if there's a tie) will become Catherine's icon).

Thanks!

I trust all those images are public domain and not copyrighted by anyone?
Some of them look like they've come from Magic The Gatering.

Re: Public Domain
Actually, LJ userpics are something of a gray area; I sounded out a couple of the userpic communities, and from what I've learned the making and use of LJ icons falls under "fair use." Meaning I can use someone's image for my LJ icon (and trust me, there are hundreds if not thousands of LJ users who do exactly that) and that's fine, but if I were to close my community to non members and charge admittance to new users, I would have a problem, becuase then I'm making a profit off the other person's work. and I don't think LJ would let me do that anyway.

In the event that a creator has a problem with my use of an image and chooses to make it known to me, I would of course pull the image until the matter is resolved.
