Several layers create good depth.
A few nice details such as hanging lianas and structures that are created at slightly different points and angles provide variety.
At the same time the design looks a bit too symmetrical.
I see about five root structures and as many openings.
The size and distances are also very similar.
The hardscape design that was attached to the entry shows that it is a main arch that meanders through the aquarium almost like a figure eight.
Unfortunately the water surface cuts off this part so a significant part of the original design is missing.
I think the original design at the right height would have provided a good opportunity for a very extraordinary and exciting work.
So it's still an appealing layout that I'm happy to include in my top ten in the 162-220 liter category.
Congratulations!
I liked the atmosphere and the wideness of the scene.
Great lightness in details and good light in entire work. Even that good shadows too.
The foreground is very interesting and dynamic and the path is so natural.
What a job congratulations!!
Stunning work with wonderful ending.
The detailing here is done perfectly in the scene.
