#1081 The Last Quiet Place
About This Aquascape
Ancient stones rise gently from a sea of green and weathered by currents. This aquascape captures the feeling of discovering somewhere sacred - a place hidden far away from noise, where nature still breathes slowly and undisturbed. “The Last Quiet Place” is not just a landscape beneath water, but a reminder of stillness itself.

Judges' Comments
You lost some points because the Eleocharis in not well positioned. The way that it is, you create 3 big blanked spaces that drag our attention, and because of that, we loose the focal point that should be in the middle of layout, between the rocks. When you try to create an Iwagumi, take care with colours... In this case, the red plants distracts the observers and take power of the rocks.
