I'm going to be constructive, because I think that helps us designer stretch a little harder...
I think the colour scheme really works. I like the brown, and the green sets it off well. I agree with the comment about shadows...they just look a little strange to me.
For me, the thing that sticks out the most is the font. I'm not sure whether it's the font or the lower-case option you've gone for, but it just doesn't look right to me. For example, the 'e' just looks strange (I know thats the font and not you!), but also the fact that the point size is so small makes it look a little unbalanced.
Hope that helps, all criticism is helpful if taken well
The green is a bit bright for me. Apart from that, I agree with all of @Mike Beecham's comment. I also think the drop shadow on the 'Nice one' button makes it appear blurry. Though that may just be because it's a scaled down version.
I also agree with Josh's comment before it was deleted - there needs to be more contrast on the arrow. And the separator between the arrow and the text is off by 1/2px to the right.
@CJ Melegrito yeah, you're right. It looks a bit less weird on the proper big version, but I'll try and fix that.
@Mike Beecham Yep, for sure. This is just a little reconstruction of the big version. In real life, the font size is about 16px there, which should hopefully be an improvement, but I'll look into something else for it was well.
As raised in (seemingly deleted) previous comments, there's not a great deal of alignment going on. With a bit of layout tweaking, this could be much better. Great colours, mind.
@Dan Eden@Stuart Robson totally agree, the spacing is off here — one of the downfalls of redrawing a scale model without context. As for a submit button, I'd chosen to leave it out because it saves on key press, but it might well be worth adding in.
@Iain MacDonald unfortunately, raptors have tiny arms, which makes it hard for them to clap. If they could, they'd probably be better off congratulating some of those crazy 3D icons.

Working on a little redesign for lkd.to, and this is a little version of what it's going to look like.
Uh, I'm not quite sure what else to write, so here's some Baywatch penguins: http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/web05/2012/1/20/13/anigif_enhanced-buzz-25050-1327085929-25.gif

The shadow underneath the green button looks a little odd. Other than that, everything is incredibly awesome.
