This is one of the works that impressive me a lot. It's a difficult vertical layout, but it's very well put together and the red that goes in here and there is a very nice accent. The water plants, especially the moss is in good condition and cover the tress gives a sense of time passage which makes this work even better.
Comments from Frederic Fuss
This layout is the one that surprised me the most this year. The meassurments remind me more of my terrarium or a paludarium than a usual aquarium. An unusual format where I had to trash my common sets of focus points to evaluate this design. I had to struggle a lot with my viewing habits and I think you did a very good job and I thank you for challenging me here! The lack of depth and perspective is greatly compensated by colorful planting and very skillful design. The color contrast is very heavy but makes sense in this very special context. Surprising and simultaneously pleasing a judge with such novel work is a very difficult task. You managed it!
