Judges' Comments
Excelente trabajo. He de reconocer que el estilo iwagumi no es de mis favoritos, y pienso que compite en desventaja contra un landscape montañoso, pero si está bien ejecutado, la paz y a la vez fuerza que transmite sus elementos, tiene su mérito y así debe valorarse. Enhorabuena.
Translation:
Excellent work. I must admit that the iwagumi style is not among my favorites, and I think it competes at a disadvantage against a mountainous landscape, but if well executed, the peace and at the same time the strength that its elements transmit has its merit and should be valued as such. Congratulations.

i love the simplicity, clean and classic appearance of this layout. rock arrangement is so simple and effective, the shape and texture of rocks selected is marvelous as well. You will never get tired of looking at it! i would have preferred a slightly taller and denser background plants, maybe by a couples of centimeters and this would have been perfect.
