Always enjoy a classic NA style layout. This small aquarium has all it needs for it. My feedback would be to add a little of the grassy plant thats in the right background to the left mid ground for more depth and better transition towards the stems in the corner. Also smaller fish ie. Boraras could help further enhance the work.

Overall Comments:

The entry beautifully encapsulates the peaceful allure of the Nature Aquarium style, an art form that encourages us to bring nature's tranquility into our daily spaces. The plant health is particularly impressive. Your attention to detail in this area serves as an educational point for those looking to maintain healthy, vibrant aquatic habitats.

The photography excels in showcasing the aquascape, aligning well with the Nature Aquarium style's peaceful narrative. The well-lit scene adds to the aquascape's allure, inviting the audience to partake in this tranquil moment.

However, the aquascape could gain an additional layer of visual interest with more artistic ingenuity. For instance, repositioning a new thicker piece of wood in the front could add needed depth, creating a more dynamic interplay of highlights and shadows. This would guide the viewer's eyes more effectively through the scene, creating a more immersive experience.

Overall, your entry serves as a strong educational resource for those interested in the Nature Aquarium style, showing that even classic designs can benefit from thoughtful execution and subtle enhancements.

In summary, this is a well-executed Nature Aquarium, and with a touch more artistic creativity, it has the potential to transcend into a masterpiece. Good job!

A pleasant, lush layout with complex textures. Some plant health issues and the fish appear a little large for this small aquarium.
