- Background
- "The sky effect was achieved through indirect lighting against a background positioned behind the aquarium. I fixed an opaque paper to the back wall and projected directional light against it. The gap between the rear glass and the wall eliminated unwanted shadows and created a smooth transition of luminosity, simulating the horizon."

Judges' Comments
At first, we cannot see where is the sides of the aquarium, so at the next time do not cut of the image, the side glsses, please. We need to understand where our aquarium starts and where is the end. When you do a Iwagumi style, please try to understant the importance of subortination betwinn rocks. The rocks need to looks like the same and they need to have a connection among them. Take care with very straight angles, they are unnatural.
