Stay Awhile

A neat, clean and impeccable aquarium in its execution. I would like a little more creativity because this is a classic set, and visually it reminds me of many other works seen in the past. Still the execution is precise and excellent.
The only discordant element that is not integrated with the rest is the presence of stones at the vanishing point that unnecessarily simulate distant mountains.

Very well NA style layout and it is not easy to keep and maintain.

Total Impression: 90%
The embodiment of the Nature Aquarium style is expertly portrayed in this piece, closely mirroring the ideals of the revered sensei Takashi Amano. It's evident that the artist intended to pay homage to the traditional approach, resulting in an underwater setting that's both calming and visually arresting.

Bonuspoints Plants: 100%
The plant selection truly stands out, not just for the variety but for their impeccable health and placement. The water lilies, strategically placed at the focal point, pull the viewer's attention, acting as the crown jewel of the composition.

Bonuspoints Photography: 100%
From a technical standpoint, the photography is exceptional. The mirror-like reflections accentuate the depth and beauty of the underwater world, ensuring that the viewer is fully immersed in the experience.

Bonuspoints Artistic Creativity: 0%
While the execution is faultless, the scape heavily leans into the established conventions of the Nature Aquarium style. It beautifully echoes the classical techniques but misses out on presenting a fresh, innovative perspective.

In conclusion, a heartfelt applause to the artist for their commitment to perfection in replicating a classic Nature Aquarium style. This piece is a testament to the timeless beauty of traditional underwater scaping.
