Fernando Boturao Francischelli Sao Paulo, Brazil

Awards and Comments

First Place
Progressive lifting of the substrate and the willingness and proportion of the elements create an astonishing depth. The stone used is perfectly integrated into the plants texture and color diversity generates an extraordinary visual effect. The technique used during the integration of the cosmetic sand and planted on roads is extraordinary. The only elements that could be improved in my opinion are the trimming of the moss region and a slight discrepancy between the right and left sides which makes both sides seem slightly disjointed. (The dynamic of the stones on the left side is strong & vertical and horizontal & soft on the right). Regardless a wonderful result emphasized by a fantastic photograph. Congratulations!!!!

Creator hiding his techniques in this layout successfully. We can enjoy it like a true pure part of nature every time we take look at this layout without any artificial touch.

Beautiful layout! The plants have been grown in and complement the layout nicely. The square like rock on the left center unfortunately clashes with the "zen" of this layout.
