Special Guest Juror's Message

It's been a great honor to be part of the jury this month, I´d like to thank the organizers and the participants for giving me this responsibility. It has not been easy at all to choose my favorite, after reviewing all the artwork carefully, I gathered all the best artwork in a folder. About 20-30 pieces, all of them deserved to win.

All of them were technically outstanding and had something that made them particular, for their quality, personality, simplicity or artistic value.

I struggled between the last 4 pieces contained on that folder. I wish all of them could win! Finally, I followed my instinct and I decided to reward the quality and originality of this piece. Its been love at first sight. I saw something special on it, and different. The colors, the power of the design and the personality of this piece made it the winner for me.
