#47: 139L Aquatic Garden Dawn

Comments

Despite the excellent plant health and presentation I feel that the composition of this layout is not balanced. The driftwood and stem plant arrangement on the right does not complement the simple tuft of Cyperus helferi on the left.

Very nice tank and a nice set of progression shots. Be careful not to get carried away with photography and "special effect" lighting however. Remember this is NOT a photography contest. The aquascape itself looks best in your "step 2" shot.
