First Place
Very nice layout; it expresses the calmness that Dutch Style is known for. Could have been even better when the left mid section would have been more visible.

Beautiful! One of my favorites in the category. Excellent contrast. Nice clear groups. Distinct focal points. Just the right number of species. Thank you thank you thank you for including grasses rosettes large leaved plants and a hint of open space in the foreground. Great restraint in avoiding too many red plants. Top left corner feels neglected - moving the hidden Echinodorus in the back left corner to a midground position near the Lobelia would have fixed that problem. The arch that starts with Lobelia and P. erectus and ends in Ludwigia palustris Red nestling the Cryptocoryne may have been completely unintended but it is a too-powerful visual element that excludes the background and everything else in the tank.
