Nguyen Van Tan Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Awards and Comments

Third Place
A layout with a great sense of depth in such a small tank. I wish the back of the tank was slightly more in focus but the use of plants and details in the back help create that sense of depth well.

Great job!

I liked the sense of perspective and the valley created in the center of the layout. I think that if rocks with more textures and shadows were used the layout will be more refined and powerful.
The mosses are healthy but the trimming technique could be better more natural less rounded.
Talking about photographic technique unfortunately the depth of field could be higher in order to have more sharpness in all parts of the aquarium. Only the rock positioned on the left of the layout is in focus.
But overall it is a great job that impressed me a lot! Congratulations!!!

The arrangement of this mountain 'scape is perfectly presented in a tiny tank considering that the plants are mostly moss but depth is created in a perfect way!
