WOW what an impact!!!
Hardscape work worthy of a watchmaker. Thoroughly planed and calculated piece by piece.
Really the Japanese caves of Abukumado in Fukushima are very rich in geological formations like this layout.
The dark atmosphere and the stalactites and stalagmites formation are perfect!
Awesome lines of perspective and contrasts.
But the highlight of this job is more than work very well with shadows this 'scape presents a good job of light and dark which is very different and difficult to perform. Note that there are light areas with contrasts and shadows and also dark areas equally with shadow and contrasts. Because of that this layout is brilliant. An amazing game of light and scenic atmosphere!!! Congratulations.
The monumental scale of this job permitted details equally big with revealing reflections.
On the other hand talking about plants this layout was restrictly to fill some areas with few plants and some mosses.
Congratulations I was very impressed.
