I found the link at the following URL http://www.adana.com.my/gallery/contest2008.htm
Looking at gallery number 1 who happen to below to a hongkong participant by the name of Cheng Siu Wai. I was just wondering how is the flora being done on the top of the stones used. |

What a great idea to post an inspiring scape and then discuss it. Please don't let this thread die and lets keep talking about the various designs.
I especially like the second image posted by Biweilow. It's simplicity in thought and execution is quite exquisite. Consider that only four plant types are used. And that only 2 species of fish... I think what Amano clearly understands is scale and Depth. He very carefully chooses the size of his aquariums and subsequently the size and positioning of driftwood or rocks within. The choice of fish is then made in relation to the overall aquascape. The thing is we can do this easily in our setups before any planting is done. It just takes some careful planning and a little more money... Ready selection of rocks and driftwood. If we spent a little more time considering our compositions and driftwood/rock purchases, there is no reason we couldn't create similar designs in our own home. I especially like the way the discus appear like a herd of cattle grazing on a lush field... really quite a stunning piece here. Thanks for posting it. |

The first picture is an excellent play on the mirror effect from the glass and surface. I love how the wood creates a framing effect.
