Luis Carlos Galarraga Sao Paulo, Brazil

Awards and Comments

First Place
This is an incredibly vibrant sort of "old fashioned" mostly stem plant scape. It is similar to a Dutch tank in some ways. It is very different from most of the tanks we see in this contest but I like it a lot. Well done!
— Karen Randall
Awesome! The health color and placement of the plants in this tank is impressive. An additional plant in the left front corner that blends the midground into the foreground will finish up this tank. Great job!
— Bailin Shaw
Wow!! Look at those colors!! This layout is not my taste but it is remarkable in its own right.

Nicely done!
