Comments

At first I was going to make a comment about the plants size but after looking at the piacture and reading the layout title I think I unerstand what the designer try to acomplish.
I the 2 section are well executed but I still think one can have more density to have more contrast.
The idea of using a nature picture as a theme is I think a good idea that aquascapers should use this not only guide the look of the layout but help you choose the plants a lot easier.
Good job.

Very pretty and thought provoking as well. I'd love to know more about how you created the effect.

The impression is perfect! Only the seagulls missing and yet the fishes resembles birds in the horizon.
— Ole Pedersen
Another creative work! The selection of plants represents the look of seashore very well. The layout makes me want to ask "How did you make that sea water in the center part of the tank?"
