Hoorah, JUDGING TIME!! 
Team Hugh:
yoshi4007 – a new day dawns
This one is not bad. Short and simple, but quite effective. It fits in rather well with the signature, however it's a little bit dull (maybe you could have added a little something to it). Score: 6.5/10
Ryguy – As one journey draws to an end...*fade*...another waits to begin
This is nice. I like the sense of mystery that surrounds the subtext. However, if you had not explained your whole reasoning behind how you came up with it, I would be just a little bit confused as to where you were coming from. Score: 7/10
Benladesh – Every ray of light that breaks through *fade* Is a new ray of hope for us all
This one’s pretty good. First of all, I like that you’ve related to the whole audience… “for all of us”. There’s a lot of feeling in this subtext, and I like that. However, I feel that this subtext would work better if the signature contained a picture of rays of light coming through the clouds. It still works because, yes, there is light coming through the dark sky, but it would be more effective with a different background. Good use of space, though. Score: 7.5/10
Kagemucha – The sanguine sun lingers to an end.. *fades* .. my end approaches
Personally, I think it’s a sunrise. I do get where you are coming from with this subtext, however, you can’t actually see the sun, which is a bit of a… problem. If the image had showed the sun on the horizon (say you could see half of it) this would be a very good subtext. However, it is well written and makes good use of the space provided. Score: 7/10
sirclucky – The Start of the Day's Purple Haze
This one is tricky, very tricky. It fits pretty well with image. Haze was an interesting choice of word. Nonetheless, I feel like something is missing in this subtext (possibly feeling), but I can’t quite place my finger on it. Score: 7/10
Team Laurie:
Kugetsu – A beautiful start to a beautiful day.
I think that this subtext is a bit... bland. Yes, it is a beautiful sunrise, but I think that you could have put more a lot more feeling into this subtext. In almost all cases I don’t like repetitiveness, but it didn’t turn out horribly, here. Score: 6.5/10
Jlt1990 – Breaking down the day..*fade*one light at a time..
Okay, when I first read this subtext, I was slightly confused. After I read your comment, it made more sense… Daybreak… breaking down the day. Got it. However, you wouldn’t be breaking the day. Day is starting, so it would be more like breaking down the night (and I think daybreak, is more like breaking INTO day). That aside, I like the subtext and the direction that you are coming from, it’s very smart. However, maybe the wording needs to be changed a tad. Score: 7/10
Icey – In these rolling waves of clouds *new line* I find a strange, warm traquility...
The language used is very nice (I especially like the first line). Although there is a lot of space in the signature putting in all that writing might crowd it up a little. Using a fade could help. (you spelled tranquility wrong, btw
) Score: 7/10
seashell_jr – nature gazes in wonder at dawn’s creation...
Okay, so my first impression was that it was a very nice subtext, but it would work better if there were animals or something in the signature. But then I looked at the signature again saw the trees which appear to be “looking” at the sunrise. And with that, I think this subtext fits in perfectly with the signature. It’s written with… grace, in a way, and I like it. Score: 9.5/10
Notinuse – Beginning of the end
… Just a tad clichéd? I like the ambiguity of it, but maybe relating a bit more to the actual sunrise/sunset would be more effective. Score: 6.5/10
Overall, I think you all did very well for the first round
