Nice layout nothing new but well done. Maybe the Rotala's bush at the right side could be in better shape and better trimmed. Too much orthogonal. But the details are amazing. Congratulations!!!!
— André Longarco
Nice sense of flow to this layout well done!

The scape gives a strong impression through its impactful composition. The plants are healthy. The textures in the stone and the details found around the scape bring the scene to life.

Additional Information I was inspired by the colorful cliffs of a small beach in Brazil called "Gunga". This was not an exact reproduction of the landscape, but I use it as a point from which I could create an underwater atmosphere. My main concern was to have something that was harmonious and impactful at the same time. It was a fight the whole time because I used rocks that, although beautiful, shift negatively water parameters. But I'm happy with the final result.
