Judges' Comments
The use and alternation of light and shadow is excellent, immersing the viewer in the scene.
— Gloria Ciriello
Magnífico trabajo. Impactante, natural e imaginativo, un montaje que atrae y que no deja indiferente. El hardscape es perfecto, los elementos principales están dispuestos en su lugar, creando luces y sombras y dirigidos hacia el punto de fuga, reforzando el trabajo de perspectiva, y los secundarios añadiendo detalle y tapando los espacios de distracción. Partiendo del gran trabajo de base, de un extraordinario hardscape, el plantado es natural y está sano, lo que refuerza el potencial del conjunto. Enhorabuena, una obra maestra.
Translation:
Magnificent work. Impressive, natural and imaginative, a setup that attracts and doesn't leave anyone indifferent. The hardscape is perfect, the main elements are arranged in their place, creating lights and shadows and directed toward the vanishing point, reinforcing the perspective work, and the secondary ones adding detail and covering the spaces of distraction. Starting from the great base work, an extraordinary hardscape, the planting is natural and healthy, which reinforces the potential of the whole. Congratulations, a masterpiece.

As its title, this aquascape cleverly uses three driftwood pieces placed from back to front, creating a strong sense of perspective and visual impact. This sense of structure runs through the entire aquascape, expressing a positive view of the vitality of nature. The selection and arrangement of aquatic plants are just right, neither too sparse nor too abundant. The foreground plants are rich yet not cluttered, possessing a wild beauty. The contrast between light and shadow is also handled exceptionally well.

An incredible visual feast!! In terms of first impression and impact, this tank is undoubtedly the best in this contest, or even in all the contests this year! it has the ancient, melancholy and even eerie feeling that is not often seen in the aquascaping contest. although the structure lacks a bit of layers, but the creators use the overhanging wood cleverly to create a beautiful perspective that make up for the lack of layers. The fine vertical hanging roots add details and the mysterious feeling, their positioning also creates a nice contrast to the brighter spots at the background! Overall, it is a really fantastic layout with originality!
