#144: 153L Aquatic Garden Java Backwoods

Gligorijevic Zoran Vlasotince, Serbia

Comments

Attractive tank but could use a stronger focus or point of interest. The moss on the vertical pieces of wood direct the eye out of the aquascape.
— Karen Randall
Good hardscape selection and positioning. The moss is a little too dominating and would benefit from some pruning to improve the composition.
— George Farmer
There is an unfortunate shapelessness to this layout that could be readily corrected by organizing the plant groups into more distinct spaces and by moving the perimeter of the main body back and forth from the foreground.
Accentuate a focal point to give the viewer's eye a place to rest.
