Judges' Comments

An Amazonian Fantasy To me, this feels like a rather free interpretation of an underwater habitat. I particularly like the strong diagonal composition, with roots reaching down into the water from above. The overall design feels remarkably coherent, both to me as a viewer and, presumably, to the fish themselves. The artist’s freedom in choosing the plants also appeals to my appreciation of lush growth and natural beauty. In the spirit of Takashi Amano, the creator has chosen not to recreate an authentic biotope, and the result speaks for itself. A truly paradisiacal sight. Congratulations!
