Judges' Comments
Although the composition is not very complex or elaborate, the final effect of the velvety sky and the lines of the moving fish is laudable.

What an incredible way of demonstrating the flow!! This is a really bold and interesting idea of using long exposure time to capture the Cardinal tetra! It gives the layout a whole new level of presentation and capped off with a title that explain everything perfectly. i rate this layout highly because it reminds us that a hobby should be fun like this and it brings a broad smile to my face, also to courage of the creator who think outside the box and attempted something boarder-line "crazy". A little more red plant on the right side would have been icing on the cake to balance the layout. This is the only area i would change. this is a really fantastic layout!
