"If this was a pure black and white it would be highly interesting and a fascinating piece that makes viewers question what's going on, providing a perfect element of mystery. But if was a pure black and white it wouldn't have drawn my attention nearly as much and wouldn't have made the final cut list. It is the subtle use of color and split toning that really drew me in and made me stare at it long and hard. Brilliant execution of an intriguing piece." - Wes Hardaker
