Looking at your B5 icons, it occurs to me that there aren't all that many J/D kissing scenes in the series -- I think you've got all but two or three. Makes me go hmmm...
There are actually a lot more than I thought. The problem is, a lot of them aren't very iconnable. Like, in one of the Objects, the one where they say goodbye to Garibaldi, they have a quick kiss when she gets off the shuttle and he greets her. But it's not really a well-composed shot, so while nice to watch, doesn't really work for icons.
Now my goal is to icon EVERY SINGLE KISS. LOL. I'll make that post and then someone will tell me I've missed one, heh.
I wish we'd had more scenes like that opening scene (minus the talk about socks, JFC). I love the casual domesticity of it all. I always tend to get more fluttery over simple little kisses than the big dramatic ones, though; more...something. I can't word this early.
You know what I've discovered in making icons? Shows like BSG are super-pretty to watch but don't always icon well. The framing doesn't give you a lot of options. Older shows like B5 and TNG tend to leave a lot of headroom, and it gives you a lot more freedom in cropping.
Of course, it's a double-edged sword. You have to do a lot more work on coloring and contrast, especially on B5, which I swear to God was filmed through cheesecloth.

Very pretty icons of course. The middle one is my favorite though (I esp like the cropping on it).
