#86: 159L Aquatic Garden Romancing the Rasbora

Raymond Choi East Lansing, United States

Comments

The dark spot under the Microsorium is too large and draws the eye to it instead of the layout which is very well done.
— Ricky Cain
Excellent photography! Catching a school that large in a well defined school like you have is not an easy thing to do. The aquarist must truly be romancing the rasboras. At this point the foreground needs to grow in some in order to balance against the lush Anubias and Microsorum.
— Phil Edwards
Lovely Microsorum stands unfortunately the foreground plants hadn't filled in well yet at the time the photos were taken. I also don't like the empty area on the left end of the tank. It unbalances the design.
— Karen Randall
Microsorum in the center looks nice. But the open space in the left looks unnatural and not good composition. There are too many Anubias in the foreground.
