About This Aquascape

I created this simple design with just a few plants, as I wanted to highlight the unique character of the wood. Thank you.

Judges' Comments

Kudos to you for using so much moss and making it a focus of the arrangement. Many people would not attempt such an aggressive use of moss and make it such an important part of the set up. I would have not made the moss end at the same height up the wood - this is probably more real life if the wood was in the water, but it looks a little contrived in a contest. Probably "less is more" is a better attitude about moss when it comes to contests. But I applaud you for making such a bold move! Awesome selection of wood too!
