Third Place
Beautiful layout with lush healthy plants that blend harmoniously together forming an impressive scape. I would like to see a more well defined focal point though something that pulls my gaze in and gives me a place to start maybe a pop of color or an unusual plant great job.

You have done a very nice job integrating your land and water areas and giving equal emphasis to both. Your work would benefit from some variation in leaf size however. Although there is wonderful attention to detail in your tiny twigs and moss work it is all SO small and detailed that the eye becomes somewhat lost among it. A few larger-leaved plants to draw the eye would make it even stronger!
