Autumn's embrace
About This Aquascape
I wanted to create a forest during the fall season with its red dead leaves on the ground. To represent these red leaves, I used the rotala hra. I think it was the best plant to achieve this effect. The micranthemum monte carlo represents the moss on the trees. I could have used simple moss, but I really like this plant. This project was no small feat, but I'm happy with the final result. I also gave as much perspective as possible to create a very large and deep forest.

Judges' Comments
The autumn effect has been well achieved with the right choice of plants. I really like how the two groups of fish are positioned.
