#564: 45L Aquatic Garden Malayan Rainforest

It is not a new idea but it is a very well executed project.
The "original one" was presented in 2010 by Pavel Bautin from Russia in a 150x50x60 cm tank that is 450 liters!
This amazing version was developed in a tank of only 45 liters that is 10 times smaller!!! WOW.
I'm not comparing both works in any way just using one reference to give valour to this job.
The rocks and the fallen trunk gives naturalness without being explicit. The bushes are very natural and the few shadows were surgically placed at the perfect point. Good reflections too!
The path could be positioned in any other place except in the center because in that way the path divide the scenery in half something that makes the layout become boring and mirrored.
Just two more observations: Please try to use smaller fishes next time more proportional and don't make the foreground so parallel with the front glass. At this way the foreground takes away from the sense of perspective of the layout okay!
Congratulations for this amazing forest.
