About This Aquascape
Additional information: Layout inspired by mountain ravines. The aquarium was maintained for 8 months before final shooting. Weekly 40% water changes and careful trimming ensured balance. Special thanks to Aquael for filtration support and Yokuchi for substrate.

Judges' Comments
Although simple, the landscape is pleasant, thanks in part to the effective use of side mirrors
— Gloria Ciriello
Excelente trabajo. Un landscape bien ejecutado y estructurado, donde destaco el recurso del camino partido para conseguir mayor credibilidad y sensación de profundidad. El plantado justo pero proporcional. La foto es el punto negativo, algo tibia y apagada. Enhorabuena
Translation:
Excellent work. A well-executed and structured landscape, where I highlight the resource of the split path to achieve greater credibility and sense of depth. The planting is just right but proportional. The photo is the negative point, somewhat lukewarm and dull. Congratulations.
