Judges' Comments

I like the composition of your hardscape for the most part, however the two pieces of wood on the right, near the waterline, launch me out of the scape, rather than pulling my attention in. The left side is quite dark. It feels empty, though it looks like maybe your plan is to fill that area in with tripartita over time. If that is your plan I have a little growing tip for you. If you attach tripartita to piece of black filter foam, it makes it very easy to make little islands once it covers the foam.
