Awards and Comments

Third Place
Interesting angles and choices I find your overly gardened foreground contrasts excessively with the wild grassy background.
— Jeff Kropp
A beautiful environment. I like the foreground. The design would benefit from a few 'holes' in the background planted 'wall'.
— Wim van Drongelen
This is a lovely tank with luxuriant growth. The petrified wood pieces are impressive but give the layout a bit of a lopsided feel.
— Karen Randall
