Judges' Comments
The attempt to create depth was not very successful, partly due to the excessive space dedicated to the foreground compared to the rest of the composition. The plants also do not enhance the hardscape. There is room for improvement, but it is clear that technical study went into the work
— Gloria Ciriello
it is a very nice tank with excellent build of hardscape. I would score this tank much higher if it is properly matured and maintained over a period of time. I understand that this is a tank from live setup and for that, i would like to give credit to the creator for a job well done. But as this is a photo contest, submitting a tank from live contest has obvious disadvantages.
