I like this style very much.
A few aspects of the design raise questions for me.
The Driftwood seems a bit too steep you can't follow its shapes into the distance.
A special depth effect is not created. And although the structure is slightly crossed it looks very symmetrical. The reflection on the left side was apparently covered by a dark canvas as it probably didn't work optimally.
Overall it's a beautiful piece of work!
From this work I find very little elements to change maybe sand area looks a bit flat for me and left side a bit weak against the right side (driftwood). But in any case these little details are not really important at all.
Great work great career!!!
Interesting 2:3 proportion layout where is easy to follow the natural flow of the job. The perspective line is very pleasant and the overall layout is dynamic.
Good shadows and good reflections better mostly in the lower part of the lateral glasses. I liked the detailed job in the foreground but in general the aquarium was not harmonious.
There was a lack of density in the thickets of the back of the left side and the middle part of the layout was aligned creating a wall that divides the layout.
The last comment is about the Blyxas on the left side... maybe another plant fits better in that place.
But anyway it's an impactful layout good job.
