I believe Pyra found it a bit too shiny before the update. Frankly, it was. Easier to see what it is now.

Oh, my Apologies to Pyra then.
Didn't know it had been updated.. i just

Please check the rest of your icons. I will not be sending notifications for those.
 
So how is this too shiny from this Pyra?

I think it deserved 5/6. Its really great looking, maybe a little transparency would do great for the icy look but else its perfect.
First of all, you should never do the mistake and compare standards from the past and presence.

Second: For ice (and glass etc.), transparency can be achieved by using the background colour with a much lower opacity (creating contrasts, which he basically did here).
The current state of this icon is an obvious improvement over the old one, though I still think that Jolly has to create sharper edges.

Taking your example of the "Absolute", it has well defined shapes, looking very crisp.

On a sidenote, it would also be interesting to see how it turned out if he did the following:
Lower the opacity of the rose-layer, create a new one on top of it and draw some bright highlights here and there. That might give it more depth.
