Jury selection

His work often deals with color in a very strong and saturated way, but for this contest he chose to send in images that look like black & white images at first sight. That made me smile. Because when you look closer, you see tiny spots of colour. And because of that, the color becomes so much more important; the eye get drawn to it like a magnet. I love it!
