This is a pleasant display with great detail in hardscape construction. Integration between hardscape elements is well-executed. That said, leaf litter feels under considered and distracts from the display as a whole. The ferns above the surface, whilst healthy, would benefit from strategic trimming to better integrate them with the hardscape that dominates the layout.

Enjoyed the stunning woodwork and maiden hair ferns flanking the sides. The mosswork and detail underwater looks great. The arrangement is very much monochromatic and probably could have been enhanced with more fine leaf, colored plants in strategic spots to make it more interesting.
