Rank 7 , Brilliant under water cayon , 3D effect is perfect, the placement of the elements work very well to achieve the intetion of the scaper, one can also see the slight place left at the back for plants to be added, wich is great,. A near to perfection work , size of the elements are very subtle to the size of the tank, love it. In my opinion easy to fight for Top 3 rankings, The issue with it is that the scaper limited all the foregorund , there is no presentation to the layout, again in my opinion if we are to make an scenery of nature in any form of art, it be painting, photography, sculpture or in this case aquascape, the presentation used with the foreground is always very important, yes there has been works that rank very high with this kind of foreground use in Big international contest, but in my experince it just takes out a good feeling of entering the "world" of the scaper. its like a limitation, like a half open door, to the great master piece. - Bernardo Salas Perez
