Magnífico trabajo. Un landscape, con fuerza, sano y elegante, lo reune todo. Plantado muy natural, bien integrado y distribuido. La foto con la retroiluminación y el efecto espejo de la superficie, afianza las fortalezas de un excelente trabajo. Enhorabuena.
Translation:
Magnificent work. A landscape with strength, healthy and elegant, it has everything. Very natural planting, well integrated and distributed. The photo with backlighting and the mirror effect of the surface reinforces the strengths of an excellent work. Congratulations.

Simply gorgeous layout!! The shadow created under the main rock is so beautiful and effective, it set the tone and give the layout a strong foothold to explore the rest of the areas. This is the most beautiful path i have seen in a while - curvy, sexy and natural. Fish choice is excellent too, the reddish color of the fish is complimenting the pinatifilda and bucephalandra very well, i just wish that there are more fish, like 10-15 more visible fish in the photo, that will give a stronger impression. I would introduce some pinatifilda on the left side too to balance the layout slightly. congratulation on a marvelous creation!
