    This is a novel and unconventional layout depicting a crack on the ground or a deep valley. It uses various species of aquatic plants, from mosses to stem plants, and its composition is very well formed. However, the light from underneath the tank may be 'excessive staging'.

  • [TheStoriesOfTop7] A Hunting Ground - Josh Sim / Malaysia - IAPLC 2015

    The water flow running through the left front side from the right far corner is well expressed. A sense of depth created by driftwood is overemphasized, but the layout's balanced composition helps it create a powerful overall impression.

  • [TheStoriesOfTop7] Metempsychosis - Yi Ye / China - IAPLC 2015
