Resurgence Oasis
About This Aquascape
The idea was to create a small stream with a waterfall on the right, while in the center stands a tree that has been dead for years but over time nature takes over death, bringing back to life what was once dead. In my creation I hope to have given a sense of cyclicality and vital recovery.

Judges' Comments
Nice mix of plants with a good variety of colors and textures to make the riparium visually appealing. You made good use of the terrestrial plants with good height that works well in this aquascape. The Hydrocotyle in the tank could work well in this tank, but needs to be further developed to have a more filled appearance. Good job!

This is a well-composed display that consists of several strong elements that compete for attention, causing a disfunction in harmony. All things considered, there are some very beautiful moments in this display that appear as "one offs", without being strengthened through repetition to build stronger theme. I would encourage the creator to edit their plant selection, taking time to consider how each element relates the other.

Nice tank showing good use of variety of plant leaf shapes and types. Honestly a little on the verge of being chaotic from such variety. Nice to see the addition of fish and a scape in the water.
