Judges' Comments
A remarkable aquascape with a very special atmosphere. I really like the leaning trunk guiding the eye towards the blue vanishing point, and the roots converging in the centre as if outlining a passage that can no longer be crossed. The moss is placed so that it covers most of the hardscape in a very natural way. You made clever use of the reflections on the side glass, especially the right one, which makes the landscape look even bigger. The choice of foreground plants is lovely too: besides adding a touch of colour, they recreate that pleasant disorder typical of nature
