Judges' Comments

Very nice Wabi Kusa display with excellent use of the Echinodorus. Some selective pruning of the dead material would improve the overall impression of the Wabi Kusa and a greater emphasis on some color would blend the twiglike wood used in the display. As is, the Rotala looks like it was recently planted and is being effected by the loss of humidity by wilting. Well done!

Good to see finer elements in the arrangement. This is a very wood-focused arrangement which is good to see, however the amount of similar size/structure wood is almost overwhelming for the arrangement. With that comment - adding more plants would have balanced out the arrangement.
