An excellent first post.
Scape four should be no#1 in my opinion. Number one reminds me of those pictures that appear to move that you get in chinese restaurants.

Yeah there really is, Mark. Not to put a downer on it but I'm suspicious of the judging.

It's 2nd and 4th for me - both are gorgeous. The flatness of the rocks in 2 is awesome. 1st place doesn't bother me at all, I don't like it. Not a lot of innovation there except those two, the others don't stand out for me at all.

What !!!!!!!!!! some of those rankings make no sense. Number 4 is Very Very Goood and draws you in. Number 1 I have seen before in many different scapes. Albeit not as detailed and thought out as this but in the same idea. Number 1 reminds me instantly of fishkillernomores budha scape.

Well these are very bad qual photos not really help to make decisions, but give a good preview on the best ones. I will wait for the real shots as i am sure those are amazing just like in the past.
Blurry shot from a presentation, from a bad angle, really not gives back the real quality of these layout.
There are many great ones and i bet we all can set up different order on these rankings 😉

maybe because it's got the 'appearence' of half a stop under exposure, rendering the background a bit darker.
The 'final' ful res image viktor has posted, looks over exposed to me,maybe by a a good full, stop! a tad washed out.
i'd of looked to get the stones, partially in shadow.
it's a great scape though.

Yeah I think particularly the rock faces and foreground sand looked better darker, but it just doesn't look as neat in the actual shot. It looks flatter and longer too
apologies to the original photograper - had to se what they looked like straight
still prefer number 4
dont really like number 1 🙁

I can`t help but think that landscapes are becoming too much of an influence.

Good point, Dave.Dave Spencer said:
But I guess it's run by ADA who are 'Nature Aquarium' which is a concept largely based on transfering land-based nature scenes into the aquarium.
I'd like to see more Dutch influenced designs enter this contest, or even biotopes. I hear Amano is a bit of a biotope fan but going by his comments in his first book, I doubt we'll see a Dutch aquascape ever make the Top 100.
