Judges' Comments

I like the various shades of green in the scene. The positioning of the fish is also excellent, as they stand out even though they are the same colour as the composition.

Excelente trabajo. Un forest sencillo pero bien ejecutado, donde destaco por encima de todo el extraordinario trabajo de siembra y poda de las planta, entremezclando diferentes grupos de planta para obtener diferentes planos que unido al trabajo de solidos logran aumentar la sensación de profundidad de la obra. Una obra que respita y transmite paz, y que quizás le ha faltado algo más de viveza y contraste a la foto para llamar más la atención al espectador, que en muchas ocasiones no se para a analizar en detalle el trabajo, por lo que debemos ayudar a que eso si ocurra. Enhorabuena

Translation:

Excellent work. A simple but well-executed forest, where I highlight above all the extraordinary work of sowing and pruning the plants, mixing different groups of plants to obtain different planes that together with the work of solids manage to increase the sense of depth of the work. A work that breathes and transmits peace, and that perhaps lacked a bit more liveliness and contrast in the photo to draw more attention from the viewer, who on many occasions doesn't stop to analyze the work in detail, so we must help make that happen. Congratulations.
