Where light meets silence
About This Aquascape
As the sun sinks below the horizon, the focal point of this rock diorama becomes intensely illuminated. To achieve the most natural effect possible at this time of day, I had to sacrifice the lush, green illumination of the 1 and 2 plants. Darkness is already creeping into the main rocky points, heralding the arrival of night.

Judges' Comments
Very impressive setup for such a small tank. i would not think it is a small tank without looking at the tank dimension. Proper plant care and a better execution (for example please flatten the sand) will push the score higher.
