AGA 2008 Aquascaping Contest: #157

I like your foreground but unfortunately there seems to be nothing between it and the plants high up in the back of the tank. It may be that there are plants we can't see in the dimly lit areas but the deep shadows predominate. Putting some large rocks and/or wood just in front of that area to hide these deep shadows would help tremendously.

Very impressive especially considering no CO2 injection or liquid fertilisation. The layout is well-balanced with effective foreground and background althought the upper part of the aquarium appears a little wild. It's pity much of the midground is so dark but these are minor point to an otherwise very commendable layout. Well done!

The soil mounted on both left and rights side looks unnatural. I believe as a theory people feel easy when the foreground is leveled. I see the roughness in the background plants. They should be trimmed neatly.

With this much space it takes a whole new language of scale foreign to most of us to compose a successful presentation as this.
Once again a layout is defined by "empty space" Note the sandy open area. Imagine the aquascape without it.
