Jurors' Comments:
Ruby Panana: I liked the coloring. It looks natural.
Kent McManus: Good use of color in this piece. The design isn't the most intricate but it still has nice elements in a banded pattern, and it's more intricate than most banded patterns are.
Jake Livingston: The measurements are good and even. And it has good colors.
