What a delicate and insinuating work. The delicacy of textures and colors contrasts with the strength of the shadows. The foreground would be perfect if it weren't for this very artificial mossy trunk. It does not match the rest of the work. Speaking of moss the moss work can be improved on other occasions just by taking a closer look at Nature. It's too perfect. The Wabi Sabi concept is necessary for understanding nature. The right side reflexes are almost perfect but the left side could have been more worked out. Just one more detail the red "carpet" in the center of the aquarium may have caught too much our attention.
But it is a work that delights me and makes me believe that the human still being knows how to contemplate nature with his soul.
Congratulations.
