Comments

I love the composition and use of texture in this aquascape. I don't know if the shadowy nature of the photographs was intentional but I think it adds an air of distance and mystery. It also makes it difficult to judge some details.

How about some more bigger Anubias to accomplish
Java fern? The two main rocks are too similar in size.

Very artistic. Good first impression but there isn't enough focus to keep my attention. Dark photographs make judging this one difficult.
