Jury comments:Tobias Coring says...
As mentioned in the additional informations this layout needs its green foreground back. Maybe even with the proper foreground the transition to the background could be a little bit rough. A little bit to much red plants, but they are all looking very health. At all an attractive layout. Especially the driftwood looks excellent with all the moss.

Oliver Knott says...
There is more potential in this layout, especially when the Glosso coming up. Good job!
