Hi Guys,

I think maybe if you removed one of the gateposts you'd have a more interesting sense of recession and rhythm. Also if the path disappeared a bit earlier, over the hill, but there was something interesting over the horizon, the sense of depth may alter.

Also, the path is rather straight, a bend or two will enhance depth.

Another criticism, the plant health looks poor to me, and the dwarf hair grass looks very unnatural as little tufts.

You also have 4 main stones, It’d look a lot more interesting if you had 5, or three. Odd numbers make for a calmer vibe for some reason.

All in all though, very nice tank! Looking forward to seeing your future posts in this forum.
