Judges' Comments
his is a work that masterfully uses the proportions of driftwood, stones, and sand substrate to perfectly match the types and quantity of the pristine aquatic plants. It represents a harmonious and balanced ecosystem that looks highly natural and clean. The selection and blending of plant species—including Anubias, Bolbitis, Bucephalandra, Blyxa, Hairgrass, Hydrocotyle, Moss, and Pearl Weed—from the foreground to the background, is executed beautifully and flawlessly. Furthermore, it has matured beautifully over time into a truly impressive work

Many nice plant groups and the plants integrate well with the hardscape work. I enjoyed many of the small details scattered across the aquascape. I think the large wood piece that is almost touching the left glass could have used more breathing space to the left. Good work.
