1. Gary Jay's artwork
'Reasons: First off - she looks like she's in love.
The black and white is gorgeous next to that vibrant pink.
The design is well done - well composed.
The gaze of her eyes lead you to the graphic.
You know it's love without having to look too deeply, yet when you do - you're rewarded by a simple phrase that makes you like the piece even more.
It's technically excellent, emotionally charged - and simple.
I love it - Jayse's justification

The more you look at it, the more you fall into his eyes.
I love t he composition and the way the big lens almost takes over the entire image.
The subject is peaking out from behind the camera - and you imagine that his passion is capturing the beauty of life through his lens.
Faces are hard to do - and this one gets the award for creating a loveable face while telling you about the person with simplicity and directness.
Jayse's justification

3. Josheb Policarpio's artwork
Here is one that you begin to love as you look deeper into the image.
'The perfect sister' title softens you - and then you see what the artist has incorporated behind her - words that define her personality.
Her cute and energetic personality begins to shine through as you take in all that the artist is representing.
Jayse's justification
