Judges Comments::
Birgit ::Very original design. I havenīt yet seen java moss covering the whole background I am impressed. Also the placement of the centerpiece is well done. The wood fits in very smoothly, it could have easily been a second focal point, but you managed that it is not, congratulations. Your aquascape is full of original ideas from foreground to background, but still everything looks very smooth.
Jay Luto ::Beautiful aquascape. Cryptocoryne forest, cork background and Congo tetra is a pleasing combo. I would maybe place some pebbles in the empty area.
Ghazanfar Ghori ::Very good depth, and overall the aquascape looks pleasing.
