Judges' Comments
This is a tremendously beautiful paludarium. The applicant presents a great mastery of layout composition, creating a smooth gesture from the top to the bottom of the paludarium. There is a clear understanding of plant care and husbandry, evident through healthy mosses and selective placement of supporting elements. Plants are grouped with clear intention. The submerged portion has a great variety of elements that feel integrated without competing with the life above water. Excellent work!

I really like this scape. I like that the hardscape is fun and playful, uses all of the space, and without blocking all the light to the bottom of the tank. The lighter color of the substrate also helps the water section from looking too dark. I personally would like to see more pronounced plantings in the water section but that's just my taste. Over all plants are used quite effectively, with a good variety of colors, textures and sizes. You did a great, it looks good.
