Judges' Comments
A Charming Underwater Idyll I like the unpretentious approach to this design, as well as the tasteful choice of materials and livestock. The hardscape is minimalist but functional, while the planting is healthy and varied. I particularly appreciate the subtle use of moss. This layout makes no claim to be anything more than a beautiful aquarium, and that is exactly what it is. A truly successful piece of work, and my personal third-place choice in this category. Congratulations!
