Judges Comments::
Birgit ::	Very nice layout. Perfect grouping of plants. A lot of different leaf sizes and shapes grouped in a really smooth way. Only at the third view, after you get used to the perfect impression the tank gives you, you realize that this seems to be a quite narrow tank. Despite that you managed to have a nice fore-, mid- and background. Good example of off center placement.
Jay Luto ::	Great selection of plants in the "upper section" except Hygrophila rosanervis. I covered the plant with the finger and whole setup looked a lot better. I would also invest in some Lobelia to cover the left side right below Micranthemum micranthemoides.
Ghazanfar Ghori ::	Ok. I'm going home and ripping out my plants. Well done. VERY well done. What can I say..I'm speechless.
