Entry's grades

"This layout was complete in very high quality, in every details. The most strong point of this layout is the color of aquatic plants in the background. It's really made layout much more attractive"

- Tran Hoang Long

"Wonderfull very dimensional layout. The fish school in this great world looks amazing."

- Oliver Knott

"Overall the level is high and rock placement is skillful. However, it feels a bit cramped because there are too many rocks. To solve this problem, remove the rock in the middle of the foreground and produce a large space of white sand."

- Takayuki Fukada

"A masterpiece layout arrangement, plant blooming on right timing and hardscape harmonize with vegetation so well."

- Gary Wu

"just love this rockscape"

- Wai Sun Chow

"Trabajo con un gran impacto visual, que merece mis felicitaciones. Perfecta fotografía que potencia la belleza de un plantado en óptimas condiciones, con un empleo inteligente y acertado de las especies, destacando la composición posterior mediante distintas especies de Rotala sp. Hubiese deseado una distribución con algo más de intención y definición de la seiryu stone. A pesar de ello, el balance entre hardscape, flora, luminosidad mediante arena cosmética y espacio vacío es muy destacable. Este trabajo alcanzó el segundo puesto en mis valoraciones."
